Is this just your opinion as to how this will be enforced or is there an article. If its an opinion. I would just stuff my bag with tampons until they recognize me as the guy with nothing but tampons in his backpack. After three months of that you can easily hide things inside being concealed by the tampons.

That wouldn't fly. You'd get flagged by resource officer. And tampon vending machines in women's bathrooms will solve that problem/embarrassment. Look, I'm not the one who pushing to have my rights taken away. They are.

Also remember this is just one school. When columbine happened my high school in CA had metal doors with no windows. The doors had a lock feature and this was before the incident. We had physical drills all the time after the fact and if you didnt make it to class on the day of the drill because you were loligaging in the hall the teacher would not open the door for you, and the resource officer would walk around finding these kids and tell them they were dead and had to go to in school detention. Being a newer school on the west coast this shit wont fly anymore. This is why most of the last school shootings are on the east coast. Parkland didnt even have drills. They were talked to about it.
Shit compton has had metal detectors even in the 90's. ive never heard of someone shooting those schools up.

I agree with you on the rights not being taken away, but kids will attempt to circumvent anytime they can. Tough to say about it flying. I knew plenty of kids in the 90's that werent embarassed about anything and would do things like this every week even if it ment detention. I would think tampon vending machines cost money. If anything the person with nothing but tampons in their backpack would get the attention of all the women that may want one. I thought voat was all about no fapping and meeting women to populate the culture. If tampons are embarassing to 15yr olds then maybe filling their backpack with cheetos. That way the person searching is covered in orange MSG. Im just saying the backpack could be filled with anything. Mayo, applesauce, KY jelly. Not only is the backpack clear but so are the contents.
