Alachua County is forcing grades 6-12 to wear clear backpacks to school for the 22-23 school year. Not only is this expensive and not environmentally friendly, but it also doesn’t actually help what they are “trying” to help. Over 99% of fights in our county are with our fists, and the weapons they are trying to keep at home are weapons that could be hidden in textbooks, lunchboxes, folders, and so much more. Speaking of lunchboxes, does that have to be clear as well? What about sports bags? Musical instruments? Feminine products? Sign this petition to help prevent the district from making us wear these backpacks!
