Not very American.

Shouldnt only the kids with "winner" parents who can afford bulletproof backpack plates get one, so the kids of "loser" poor parents have a reduced chance of surviving?

How will these kids learn it's wrong to be and their life means less if they're poor if literally everyone in their grade has a roughly equal chance of survival in the event of our national pastime that makes us who we are happening at their school? How will the less poor kids know their life means more than their poorie classmates?

And really, shouldn't it only be legal for private academy kids to get these kinds of protective measures? Why expend resources protecting future capital livestock to this degree? Seems like a very inefficient investment.

This feels like a slippery slope to Marxist Leninist commie socialism.

Judging by their shirts saying St. Someone, I am inclined to believe these ARE private school kids. So this is thankfully legal, no need to worry good citizen.
