The Parkland MSD student activists are definite fans of taking away our Constitutional rights, specifically the 2nd Amendment. However, when it comes to dealing with the new school security protocols that Broward County has put in place? Suddenly the Constitution is back in favor.

“Going to school is really so hard, and now it’s going to be so much worse,” said Isabelle Robinson, a senior. “A lot of the people I’ve talked to are dreading going back.”

“It feels like being punished,” Robinson told CNN. “It feels like jail, being checked every time we go to school.”

Jail? Punishment? Good grief. Do you need some cheese with that whine?

Oh, but there’s more. You see, being wanded, having increased law enforcement presence on campus (provided they stay awake) and carrying clear backpacks infringes upon their 1st Amendment rights and stuff.

Some students, like senior Demitri Hoth, recognize the need for new security policies, but think the clear backpacks cross a line. “I get it,” he said, but, “it feels like we are losing individualism. I understand why they are doing it, but if a person wants to bring a gun on campus, they just aren’t going to put it in their backpack.” Bishop said he would support metal detectors, but called the clear backpacks “an invasion of privacy.” He believes the increase security measures will make students “safer,” but that doesn’t mean they’ll be “safe.”

I had absolutely no idea that a clear backpack was so threatening to one’s individualism and an invasion of privacy! Oh wait, according to David Hogg it sure is.

Yes, he said that. Yes, David believes this violates our 1st Amendment. Yes, he’s ludicrous. Especially as I’d be willing to bet the district will have work arounds in place for privacy issues involving menstrual cycles.

The MSD student activists absolutely refuse to understand that it was the essentially the non-existent security on campus that allowed Nikolas Cruz to get onto campus that day. They also fail to realize that restricting access to one point of entry for each building on campus and requiring ID is something that has been in place in many schools across the United States for years!

In regards to young Bishop’s comment that these security measures won’t help the students be safe. Perhaps he hasn’t been informed of Broward’s dangerous Reverse Jail-to-School pipeline program. Well over 2000 violent juveniles with track records of assault, sexual assault, rape, attempted murder, felony burglary and firearms related offenses, have been mainstreamed back into schools such as MSD even when they clearly indicate they’ll be repeat offenders.

So, I’d say running around school with a clear backpack is a small price to pay for YOUR safety.

My new backpack is almost as transparent as the NRA’s agenda.

I feel sooo safe now.

As much as I appreciate the effort we as a country need to focus on the real issue instead of turning our schools into prisons. #clearbackpacks #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/HqBIeGjzF9

Today when I walk into school I will be greeted with armed police, wand detectors and clear backpacks.

Is this what my high school experience is going to be like? 3 more years of this…

Someday when my kids ask me about my high school experience what am I going to tell them?

Young lady, you want to focus on helping fix the real problems? Then instead of whining about clear backpacks and blasting the NRA – why not go after that reverse jail-to-school program? Because guess what? Nikolas Cruz was part of that program!

Clear backpacks are a violation of rights, but disarming the American populace of their God given rights and thus leaving them defenseless against criminals and a tyrannical government isn't? https://t.co/LJyHTAs3Ud

Yes, exactly. In other words, they want to have it both ways and throw tantrums when reality smacks them upside the head.

We suggested armed teachers. You balked. You got transparent backpacks.

For weeks, these student activists have been marching in lockstep with anti-gun grabbers all over the country screaming that our 2nd Amendment rights need to be yanked from us all in order for them to feel safe. But when measures are put in place to try and ensure THEIR safety, measures these kiddies deem inconvenient then SUDDENLY those 1st Amendment rights become important again!

Let’s hope, that with time and maturity, these students will be able to look back and understand something that is clear to the rest of us. Increased security comes with a price. A price these student activists demanded. But now that it’s in place, they are finding the price tag is super inconvenient. Reality sucks doesn’t it?
