Kids in the US return to classes with bulletproof backpacks amid school shooting fears
Показать описание
Children in Texas have been ordered to wear clear or mesh backpacks so they cannot conceal guns in the wake of the Uvalde school shooting.
Clear bags have been introduced as a districtwide measure to allow school staff to check students’ bags for prohibited items. Under the diktat, they will be allowed to carry a small pouch no larger than 5.5 inches by 8.5 inches to conceal sensitive items including cash or feminine hygiene products.
One Texas school pupil took to Twitter to reveal the strict new rules, saying children risk being sent home if they do not adhere to them.
