K-12 age children. Famous for their resistance to lead poisoning.

You just have to keep exposing them to it to help build their tolerance. Eventually, they won’t even get hurt when you hit them with a lead pipe.
Thats why I shoot kids with small caliber bullets. Just tagging them in the legs and arms with some .22 short rounds until they can build up a tolerance to fast lead.

To be fair, if everything in the system leading up to the school is lead free there should be minimal leeching only happening in the school pipes.
If the pipes in the school have any sediment buildup sequestering the lead from the water there would be little to no leeching.
Definitely looks bad when you say "keep lead pipes in schools" but the reality is still something like "95% of lead removed from water coming out of school taps"
Also, might make schools likely to remove lead pipes if the system is lead free. No point in removing lead pipes from a school if there's +20 miles of lead pipe leading to/from the school
Yeah but WHY. Why exclude -of all places- schools with children? Really?
Still, the safe level of lead is zero. That last 5% is still detrimental.
