There are well-paid public officials sitting around in offices dreaming up ways to *appear* to address the gun problem without actually annoying the NRA.

Its just to normalize militarized policing culture and help send kids to the for prison complex. School police offices didn't stop shootings, metal detectors didn't, random locker searches didn't, clear backpacks wont.
@catdad But it does justify ignoring students' privacy, which is probably the real point.

Also it does nothing to stop me walking in with a long gun. Plus you cant even hide a long gun in a backpack well
@pzmyers
I put that as the normalizng part. Like its seriously shit you would see in a prison. Also I cant help but feel that poc students are going to get busted for having stuff in their pack.
