The kids understand resistance. Their school just banned backpacks:

1. I like the fishing net and the dolly-stroller.

2. The trashcan is cool, too.

[NurseJackie]

3. Not very practical, but it "makes a statement" I suppose.

I wonder what the original justification (or goal) was for prohibiting backpacks?

7. Daughter's middle school banned them for long periods

As a "punishment" (!) to all the students. Ostensibly, it was to keep students from hiding drugs, weapons, contraband, etc. etc.

[onethatcares]

20. prolly that gunz could be hidden in them.

leaving out the fact it's not the fucking backpacks that are the problem.

banghead: :

22. Guns? Drugs?

However, with students I always think they'll find a way
to do what they want when it comes to drugs or guns.

Baggy clothes for instance, or hiding places.

6. Just when I'd decided trashcan is my favorite...

in rolls the stroller and in slides the sled.

Good job, students!

4. The others are more funny, but I just love the irony of the front pack, & convenient too.

5. In 2019, gun humper apologists wanted kids to use backpacks for defense What changed?

*****Hard to watch video*****

9. WOW! I never saw that video. The closing scene of girl texting her mom is what broke me.

8. No good reason to ban backpacks!!

These kids are alright! When tyrants are in charge become ungovernable!

11. Misuse of the word tyrant, so if you know the reason for this schools ban, kindly prove link.

Then can know if they are tyrants.

14. Look up "hyperbole."

[Alexander Of Assyria]

17. Yes, a wonderful way to make a point succinctly.

[tblue37]

16. Usually backpacks are banned to prevent them from bringing weapons--especially guns--to school.

[NurseJackie]

23. Old school briefcases or purses or attache or satchel or ...

... even a hollowed-out book could work for any number of items that someone wanted to carry discreetly. Thermoses and Scooby-Doo lunchboxes would work too.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

10. With no information in thread about the why? No comment is only comment possible.

Can you provide the missing link plz?

[Iggo]

12. I found it. You can, too. It's super easy.

[MenloParque]

13. The exercise of power in a cruel or unreasonable manner

To me not allowing students to use a backpack to carry heavy books ALL DAY is cruel and unreasonable. To suspect students MAY have a drugs or guns is not reasonable and punishes the students. Call it what you want. These kids are learning fast! Kudos to them!

[Alexander Of Assyria]

18. The inhumanity is immense is not an argument I subscribe too without more verified information.

15. There was a shooting at a school in Arlington TX this am. Did backpacks help any kid?

19. No one even had backpacks when I went to school.

Too many times they have been used to hide guns.

21. My daughter's school banned backpacks AND lockers

because of weapons and drugs... her school was a war zone. (only for one year, until we moved)
