Cameron Kasky Perfectly Trolls Stoneman Douglas’ New Clear Backpack Policy With Tampons
In the wake of the horrific school shooting at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, FL, students are required to carry clear backpacks, ostensibly as a safety measure.
Many Stoneman Douglas think this is – to put it mildly – a really stupid idea, and have said so on Twitter. Among them, freshman Lauren Hogg and senior Carmen Lo:

My new backpack is almost as transparent as the NRA’s agenda.
I feel sooo safe now.
As much as I appreciate the effort we as a country need to focus on the real issue instead of turning our schools into prisons. #clearbackpacks #MarchForOurLives pic.twitter.com/HqBIeGjzF9

But junior Cameron Kasky – who became one of the breakout stars of the #NeverAgain movement when he asked Sen. Marco Rubio point blank whether he will refuse contributions to his campaign from the NRA – had perhaps the greatest clap-back to the school’s new policy.
To demonstrate the policy’s invasion of privacy, Kasky tweeted a selfie with his clear backpack stuffed with a whole heck of a lot of tampons:

Fellow Parkland survivor and activist Delaney Tarr responded to the tweet noting what she saw as the one positive outcome of the new clear backpack requirement:
