Parkland Students Are Trolling Their Mandatory Clear Backpacks By Carrying Things That Scare Conservatives The Most
Survivors of a mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, returned from spring break to Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School and were greeted by new security measures. Among other new regulations, the school staff provided the students with the newest mandatory accessories: a transparent backpack. The administration claims that this regulation will boost safety, but the students hate it. One of the biggest issues for this backlash has a lot to do with the female reproductive system - tampons and other menstrual thingies became impossible to hide. Saying they are beginning to feel as if inside a jail, the teens have already come up with a solution that perfectly expresses both their solidarity for natural feminine stuff and rage against the current gun situation in the country. Only it might infuriate a few conservative minds.
Tampons. The students are filling the new backpacks with loads and loads of tampons. "I only got lights. I didn’t know. Getting supers for tomorrow," student Cameron Kasky tweeted. "Sizes, pricing... I'm learning new things about women's health right now. This stuff is expensive. Steps must be taken to make these health products easier to access."
However, Rachel Padnis, a 16-year-old sophomore at Majory Stone Douglas, has a slightly different opinion. "Personally, I think that clear backpacks aren't that big of a hassle. If it even makes one person at my school feel safer, I am willing to make that sacrifice," Rachel told Bored Panda.
"It's actually pretty funny to walk through the hallways and see all the jokes everyone has written on them," she said. "Although there are a whole bunch of complaints about them and I am feeling like my privacy has been taken away, I think they have brought a lot of real laughter back to my school which was missing for a while."
Padnis believes that people could still carry around weapons there if they wanted. "I see many students with lunchboxes in their backpacks that go unchecked as well as zipper pouches which seems to defeat the intended purpose and the police presence has gone down significantly." According to her, the issue is complex. "I feel like metal detectors or some kind of detector wand would be much more beneficial, but there’s also the fact that it would take a really long time for everyone to get scanned upon their entry to my school since there are about 3,200 students who go here."
What do you think? Let us know in the comments below.

I think medal detectors would serve a better purpose. And maybe if the school's would address BULLING there'd stop school shootings don't think it's an issue , you better think Again, guns are not going to slove s**t. Wonder who the master mind is BEHIND the issue they can't seem to slove, any cameras in the school? Probley not.

This is so stupid. What about outside on the school grounds and school buses. Even having mental detectors allow a bunch of students open for someone to shot them. They just dont get it just like a addict they will always find drugs to abuse and sickos will find ways to kill people. The only way to stop is to have stricter regulations and who can have a gun.

That's a really positive learning experience. Some men, young men, and boys can be freaked out by periods, even older men (men over 50). They seem to think that picking up a feminine product makes them less masculine. And, as a woman, I am very proud of Cameron for what he did. He's learning about women's health, and how expensive feminine products are. He's also learned, that because we are women, we have to pay a lot for those monthly needs. (For some of us that takes $ out of our food budget.) And he wasn't afraid to express his feelings on the matter by loading up his backpack with tampons. He's going to be the type of man who won't mind picking up feminine products for his future girlfriend(s) or wife. And maybe, if we're lucky, he'll go to college, learn about business and women's health and start a new company that sells affordable feminine products. The current companies will never lower the cost of their products because they know we have to buy them every month.

I would do the same thing. Metal detectors would be safer and easier.
Michael Foley 7 years ago
I agree - to a point. Metal detectors are prohibitively expensive. The easy solution (already being done in many schools) is to reduce the entrances of the school to ONE. Then you can put in the metal detector. Once classes begin, entrance is only through a reinforced security door, which would be controlled by a clerk with whom you could communicate through bullet-proof glass.

Indeed! This false flag was a doozie. Local cops announced an exercise in the school that day with armored SWAT types using military style weapons and blank ammo, shooting up the place. Crisis actors used as "bodies" taken out on stretchers (only one photo provided the public), and a paid "child" spokesman "student" named Hogg to be paraded before America for over a month afterwards screaming about guns and how they must be eliminated from our society except for the police and military. Nice try! But we've seen this type scenario so often that we simply won't ever believe it's real ... never again. And, pray tell, where are the dead and wounded? No sign of them EVER. And yet the brainwashed children BELIEVE the crooked cops and the MSM and their teachers. Purpose? To disarm Americans so the destruction of our society can finally be achieved ... so much has already been done, and this is the last step.

Please remember the difference in technology and what guns were primarily used for (hunting, keeping bears away, etc.) Even changing it so you can keep a gun inside your house but you have strict licensing laws with regards for who can use one outside for hunting, would be a massive improvement.

Marlowe Fitzpatrik 7 years ago
Uhm... So you think that schools should be zones where everyone can be armed, just in case there are criminals ? The second amendmend says, btw: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - nothing about "keeping save from criminals". It was about a well-regulated Militia, not about "everyone go and have weapons!". Well-regulated means REGULATED; not "free for all". Anyway, not my main point. My main point is: a school is a place for learning and a place for safety. Targeting schools and hospitals in a war is despicable, but if you make schools places where people are armed, you take away the innocence and civility of schools. You'd make them dangerous places, anyone who lives and works there a dangerous person. Do you want that? Do you really believe it's right to arm teachers or even children? Do you really think it's wise to put firepower in a place filled with teenagers?

And implying conservatives are at fault is divisive bulls*it. btw, Trump supporters include Americans across the political spectrum, all united in support of populism. Liberals and progressives are 'useful idiots' for globalism/world government. Liberal & progressive now mean fascist & regressive - truly Orwellian. Too bad that includes Bored Panda, because your stuff is usually good, sometimes great, apart from your globalist claptrap - fascism in a smiley face teeshirt and Nikes, as George Carlin put it.

Uhm... So you think that schools should be zones where everyone can be armed, just in case there are criminals ? The second amendmend says, btw: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed." - nothing about "keeping save from criminals". It was about a well-regulated Militia, not about "everyone go and have weapons!". Well-regulated means REGULATED; not "free for all". Anyway, not my main point. My main point is: a school is a place for learning and a place for safety. Targeting schools and hospitals in a war is despicable, but if you make schools places where people are armed, you take away the innocence and civility of schools. You'd make them dangerous places, anyone who lives and works there a dangerous person. Do you want that? Do you really believe it's right to arm teachers or even children? Do you really think it's wise to put firepower in a place filled with teenagers?
