We all know about school shooting tragedies such as Columbine or Virgina Tech. But now a Massachusetts based company is helping the general public avoid these dangers. They are now selling bulletproof backapcks for your children's usage. Sure they have the best intentions, but it almost seems to me that they are promoting school violence. The company is basically saying it will happen again, and it will happen to your child.The creator of this backpack is saying this is an everyday item. An item that is as common as bike helmets and smoke detectors. But as far as I see it, this is NOT an everyday item. You are basically giving your child a bulletproof vest to wear to school! Just picture this image; a mother giving her son a bulletproof vest, then waving goodbye as he gets on the bus. This is not the average item like a bike helmet.
If you feel your child is so endangered that you have to provide one of these backpacks, then there are severe problems in your school. That should be the biggest indication to MOVE AWAY TO ANOTHER TOWN!
