Simple. It makes liberals feel good because they did something. Whether that something makes any sense or actually works doesn't matter one iota. It's the thought that counts.

In what may be deemed another non-solution from lawmakers on gun-control, some Florida students will now be required to use clear backpacks when on school grounds.
Last week, Broward County public school superintendent Robert Runcie announced that the district planned to implement a “solution” to avoid gun violence and that, after Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School’s spring break ended, students would be required to use clear backpacks if they wanted to be admitted on school grounds.
According to The Blaze, however, student David Hogg has spoken out about the requirement and argued that district officials’ “solution” is rather an infringement on his classmates’ rights.
“It’s unnecessary, it’s embarrassing for a lot of the students and it makes them feel isolated and separated from the rest of American school culture where they’re having essentially their First Amendment rights infringed upon because they can’t freely wear whatever backpack they want regardless of what it is,” Hogg stated.
Hogg also said that his peers shouldn’t have to feel as if they’re going to a type of “prison” when attending school, and cited even more privacy concerns when it came to his female classmates and the feminine products they usually carry along with them.

LOL!
> The hypocrisy is just staggering.
Indeed. The clear backpack solution was a stroke of genius, exactly mirroring the Hogg solution for guns; that is, punishing everyone for the infraction of one.
It is the quintessential liberal approach to solving the problem, and now that he is adversely affected, he cries. Suck it up, cupcake, you reap what you sow.
Um...isn’t it actually the 4th Amendment?
“The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.”
I guess he missed that day in history class...

It’s only 7 mins long and well worth watching.
The guy pulls together some interesting facts in the case that we never heard. Or at least I never heard. Things that aren’t being mentioned much in the media either.
Stefan Molyeneux(sp?) calls him spider arms. LOL.
If you know even one woman or girl you know they carry their feminine hygiene products in a cosmetic bag. You don’t just dump tampons in your bag. Don’t use the girls as your excuse.
The level of hypocrisy here is almost beyond description.
So he think punishing everyone for the potential bad acts of a few are a bad idea when it comes to backpacks?
This kid is stupid, isn't he?
I wonder if she ever realized she was just being used.
who is paying him? Soros? CNN? Obama?
But he really thinks he is smarter than everyone else.
Don't they always?
Nobody. He's a useful idiot. If they had to pay their idiots, they couldn't afford it.
I read where he’s pissed because he didn’t get accepted at Berkeley. The article said he got a 1270 SAT. Someone should tell him even though Berkeley’s weird, they laugh at 1270 SAT scores.
It used to take four years of a liberal college to thoroughly indoctrinate them. Now they arrive at High School completely indoctrinated.
LOL...hmmm...who WAS she?
Honestly, I can’t remember her name any more. And why was she momentarily famous?

So would David allow me to use a NRA dufflebag?
