    I don’t know. I think we get numb to seeing it on a screen. I couldn’t imagine being one of those kids holding a constant reminder. Everytime they put on their backpack and it’s heavier than it should be. I know books aren’t used in the same way they were decades ago when I was in school… But my backpack was always stuffed.

    But let’s ignore the root issue at hand. Let’s just give body armor to children. They’ll figure it out hopefully if/when their time comes

      And, as pointed out earlier, this isn’t even good ceramic armor, it’s a one square foot steel plate that will be penetrated by a rifle.
