If they need bulletproof armor just to attend school then it is too dangerous to send them there. This is not a solution to anything.
If you got a boring office job and on the first day you were issued a bulletproof vest because they keep having "incidents", would you keep working there?
They don't need it, it's all just security theater like the TSA. 99.99999% of children in the USA are not harmed by firearms each year. In fact, most "school shootings" counted in the Alarming Statistics are not mass shootings but any incident involving a gun in a certain radius of a school.

I wouldn't mind getting a free armor plate though, those were probably expensive.
Cool story bro
