The only problems i see is: items being stolen and backpacks being hard to identify the owner

My districts been wearing them for 5 years already.

It wouldn't matter if the backpack is see through.... You can still hide stuff in your clothes or shoes. It's not the first time someone did it. Furthermore, guns come in all sizes.

honestly it's not a bad idea. If you have anything very personal like hygenic product then just put it in a smaller bag which we cannot see.

What about their pads/tampons..? And now there's a new way to get bullied, kids will probably get made fun of for whatever is in their backpack, drawing more attention to them. Unnecessary and not a good idea, taking away people's privacy is not a solution

I wonder what the demographics are of this school?

"encouraging" bro if someone brought a gun to school, they would probably use a different backpack. tf?
