Dear MEL Topic Readers,
This Florida school is selling bulletproof panels for students' backpacks
A bulletproof panel for a school child? It’s not in Syria or Afghanistan but in the USA. It may be protective but not preventive for sure. Parents of school children may be interested in getting one for their kids after seeing mass shootings in school, church, and an outdoor concert. Now a private school in Florida has moved one step ahead. They started selling bulletproof panels that fit in students' backpacks as another level of protection for their pre-K through K-12 students. Students are taught by their teachers how to use their backpacks as a shield to protect themselves as the last line of defense. Sounds like a drill against nuclear attack in the cold war era.
The price tag is $120. It may not be a problem for affluent parents but it is for those in need of financial help for living.
You may wonder if one size fits all or it can be used for adults.
Read the text and think if you want one when you go in a school or church premise in the US.
