That, and the fact that guns have weight and if you just wrap it in a sweater and then toss it in a backpack, the gun isn’t going to stay wrapped up in the sweater. It’s likely to fall out. And if people can see that you’ve wrapped your sweater in tape to, maybe, prevent that from happening someone may see that and…

The article quotes actual facts. It doesn’t offer any opinions. It doesn’t even opine that the clear backpack rule is guaranteed to reduce kids smuggling weapons into school.
What about kids bringing knives to school? Or brass knuckles? Or pipes?
AGAIN: No one is claiming that clear backpacks will stop all attempts to smuggle things into the school.

The article I’m quoting isn’t an opinion piece. It cites real-life examples of schools that implemented the requirement of clear backpacks.
And F-18/As. And F-35s.
You can’t prove a negative. Provide evidence that clear backpacks lead to an increase in smuggling weapons into school. I’ll wait.
Maybe you can use common sense yourself and recognize that implementing plans to make smuggling weapons into school is not a bad idea. There’s no reason to put fashion over safety and I’m amazed why anyone would want to do so.
I didn’t shift anything. We’ve got problems with knife attacks in school as well. I’m sure you realize that but here’s a story about one:
Again: Plenty of school districts disagree with you.
There are plenty of school districts that don’t share your opinion.
China has problems with knife attacks in school.
The key word there is “allegedly.”
You’re smarter than these kids because one is claiming that she can’t bring tampons to school because the clear bag. I guess she’s not smart enough to conceal it in something.
I don’t know that they’ve saved a life but I know that requiring clear backpacks isn’t a new idea and has been implemented elsewhere.
And you’re the idiot arguing with me. Sorry your challenge coin didn’t impress me much but, frankly, neither it nor your toy model collection is impressive.
I get your point, but see it differently.
The “clear backpack” idea has been around a long time. This article is fairly recent but references earlier instances where schools adopted the rule.
