The liberal mentality of the Democratic Party has never been one of high intellectual capacity - nor has it been one of logic or reason - but now - the Broward County Public School System - in a response to the mass shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida - has created a new level of stupidity - with suggesting that the use of “clear backpacks” and “identification badges” will somehow be a proper response to deter the next would-be mass shooter.
That's right America, the left wing is officially braindead.
I'm not sure how the superintendent of the Democrat-heavy Broward County Public Schools feels that the use of a transparent bookbag carried by students will prevent someone from bringing either a semiautomatic handgun or a revolver into the school, or how it will prevent someone determined to simply open fire on a crowd of students with an AR-15 from doing so, but that's the solution being brought to the table by the left.

What would actually work to protect students?
That's simple. Arming teachers, hiring Armed-security such as potentially hiring US military veterans, putting Police Officers inside the school, and the use of metal detectors.
In fact this past week, three students from Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland were arrested for either making threats on Snapchat or being caught with knives on campus.

Not that a knife isn't threatening, it clearly is, but I'm not sure how a transparent backpack is going to stop someone hell-bent on mass murdering from doing so.

The school and all public schools have children who are bullied and suffering from depression and mental illness. If those kids decide to seek revenge, this backpack and ID badge measure isn't going to ensure their safety.
Of course, the logical answer isn't one that tends to be chosen by Democrats.
Now the students or Parkland and in Broward County, in general, are furious over the policy decision that does little to nothing to protect them and also will invade their privacy.

Of course, there's the infamous group of “victims,” Parkland students who made their rounds on national television to become mouthpieces for the Democratic Party’s desire to remove the Second Amendment, and they're unhappy as well.
Their comments are typical liberal complaints, still not open to the idea of having armed teachers protect them, while simultaneously complaining about these measures and offering no logical solution.

It's terrible that after the loss of 17 lives there's still an unwillingness in Broward County to train the teachers who want to carry, to be a last line of defense to protect their students.
Public schools are reportedly safer than ever before, although the mass shooting incidents do little to calm the nerves of parents.
Knowing that a teacher was trained on firearms safety and well equipped to use one would be far more successful.
Again, it's the failures of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the cowardly actions of the Broward County Sheriff's Office which resulted in the horrific deaths, to begin with, but that doesn't seem to resonate with these students who want to take the rights of law-abiding Americans away while complaining their privacy will be violated with the transparent backpack solution.
Enjoy your trendy new book bags guys.

Hey idiots! Books with hidden compartments exist (or can be made). So much for clear backpacks.
clear backpacks, clear brain
