Kevlar Coated Books For Our School Children?

As a child I rarely missed an episode of Batman; I was always in front of the boob tube at the same bat-time, same bat-channel. My brother and I were delighted by the heroics of our favorite crime fighter, as he used his bat shield to deflect bullets and arrows.

I appropriated a dust pan and christened it a “bat shield” as I used it to stop the bullets (clothes pins) hurled by my dastardly brother.

But even as an innocent child, I knew that in real life there was no magical bat shield to protect me from the slings and arrows of cruel fate.

Some people never grow up, a fool running for state school superintendent in Oklahoma says school books should have covers made from Kevlar.

Bill Crozier says the textbooks could be used as shields by students in case of a school shooting. In a school shooting, students should be advised to run away from the shooter, not to stay and hold up a textbook under the onslaught of automatic fire.

It’s no surprise that this idiot is a Republican, I’m shocked that President George W. Bush hasn’t hired him as a military analyst.

Mr President, the insurgency is in its last throes, before long the holy warriors of the “religion of peace” will be putting daises in the gun barrels of our brave soldiers. I advise you to stay the course.”

Maybe this fool is already advising the Bush administration?
