Broward County Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie introduced the new measures in a letter sent to students' families this week.
Students who survived the Valentine's Day shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, will have to get used to new security measures when they return from spring break next week — including clear backpacks and ID badges that must be worn at all times.
Broward County Schools Superintendent Robert Runcie introduced the new measures in a letter sent to students' families on Wednesday.
In it he said there would be additional security at the school, students would be given clear backpacks "at no cost" and students would be issued a new identification badge that they would be required to wear at all times.
“Over the past several weeks, we have received many inquiries regarding our District’s efforts to fortify the Marjory Stoneman Douglas campus and expand safety protocols at the school,” the letter read. “We want to assure you that the safety and security of our students and employees remain our highest priorities.”
The clear bags would be “the only backpacks that will be permitted on campus,” and Runcie said the school district is also considering installing permanent metal detectors and the use of metal-detecting wands.
Kyra Parrow, a senior at Stoneman Douglas, blasted the plan on social media, tweeting that “clear backpacks (are) just the illusion of security.”
Other students lamented the loss of privacy.
“I know having clear backpacks will help with security, but now all my privacy will be gone,” Lizzie McNichol wrote on Twitter. “I wish it didn’t come to this.”

We may have problems.
What is Clear?
In dianetics and Scientology, Clear is one of the major states practitioners strive to reach on their way up the Bridge to Total Freedom.
or
Clear is methamphetaminemes, ice or other shwag methamphetamines comminly used by drug dealers.
Better not appropriate from these cultures.
WHERE IS THE DEMAND FOR FEDERAL AND STATE INVESTIGATIONS ????
They’re missing the point It’s not guns or the NRA It’s policies which had cops standing outside while killing was going on or some nut getting a gun the FBI knew he wasn’t suppose to... Plus a whole raft of other stuff
THE MEDIA IS DOING THIS BECAUSE
THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO KNOW WHY THIS HAPPENED
STOP SPREADING THE CABLE SWILL MILLS POISON
DEMAND STATE AND FED INVESTIGATION ON THE POLICIES WHICH CAUSED THIS. GETTING AWAY WITH MURDER

Hmmm
Could a clear backpack be exhibiting ‘colorless’ privilege?
Will they also be getting clear clothing, too ? I’m sure the boys will love that.
Students should be reminded that this is the real criminal (or at least one of the main ones). http://www.substancenews.net/articles.php?page=2607 https://www.realclearinvestigations.com/articles/2018/03/16/broward_countys_jail-to-classroom_pipeline.html
“I know having clear backpacks will help with security, but now all my privacy will be gone,” Lizzie McNichol wrote on Twitter. “I wish it didn’t come to this.”
Plus everyone will know when you are on your period.
I wasn’t going to go there.
“Did that last creep carry his rifle in a backpack?”
Why, no; he didn’t.
If only there were a law forbidding people to shoot kids in schools. Oh. Wait...
I don’t ever rememeber back packs back in the 1950s and 60s.
I’ve never seen a transparent backpack and did not even know they existed.

Here’s a picture of one.
“And they will be invading DC on Saturday.”
My husband thinks I’m nuts but I’ve been praying for the worst possible weather in DC on Saturday.
Thanks. That was very helpful.
It’s attractive, in a minimalist sort of way...
Anything short of security measures like in airports and pubs lic buildings since 9 11 is simply taking advantage of kids our most defenseless.
“Backpacks of color” is also acceptable...
Precisely
Maybe they have a career as an Uber human in a driverless car
“I don’t ever rememeber back packs back in the 1950s and 60s.”
All you had to carry then were the books you used for homework. What the hell are these kids bringing to school? Stop it,
I don’t remember them from the 70’s and 80’s.
Morons.
Local media is already playing whining kids talking about how THEIR INDIVIDUAL LIBERTY is being violated by these actions.
From the same fracking kooks who are overt in their hatred of the Constitution.
