There have been a lot of claims of concern for school safety. It's been clear from my past posts that I don't believe all the rhetoric is truly focused on that. Too much of it has been off target and too closely parallels decades old agendas to restrict and remove guns and 2nd Amendment rights. I have also posted a few times that there are professionals who can and would be willing to add value to a constructive conversation about school safety. I've seen enough evidence of that through my research. Here's one development, however, that I didn't see coming - bulletproof whiteboards.
I see this as a potential last line of defense and worry, like it says in the article, that: "they may provide a false sense of security. The prudent thing to do would be to retreat from danger rather than hide behind a whiteboard". Even so, at least there are people out there working on the problem in constructive ways. Let's hope they're affordable ways too.
