“No I need it, it’s bulletproof”

I feel like the teacher wouldn’t believe that

[ricalovesjesus]

When she said “absolutely not” I felt that in my soul 😢

NGL..I just shed a tear. His innocence is so pure. Omg please bless and protect all the babies universe!

This is horrible. Not the fact that she's teaching him, the fact she HAS to teach him.

[retardedog]

the fact they’re even making bulletproof school bags is sickening

Homeschooling is such a joyful experience and NO CHILD should experience stress like this to learn to read and write. Bless your children with Homeschooling and I promise you won't be disappointed! All 3 of mine graduated with honors and are incredible people ❤

Teacher: you have a bullet proof backpack girl that’s mine now

[marshamayrobinson]

This is nice that you’re teaching the children this. It’s so sad that it’s come to this point, but it’s good to have a plan in place.

[claudiodai]

Imagine u get suspended by surviving the school shooting because u jumped out the window

[USAFVeteran]

My heart just broke into a million pieces for all the Mama’s and Daddy’s out there having to teach their children this. It’s sad that this world is getting worse instead of better with the knowledge we have.

Aint no teacher believing your walmart looking spiderman backpack is bullet proof... 💀

[Katiebartl]

I'm holding my new baby right now and this made me cry. I hope one day we see some real change in this country. School should be safe yet so many people have sent their babies to school and never got to bring them home. My heart breaks that this poor baby even has to learn this stuff. Monsters are real.

Its actually heartbreaking needing to teach kids this
