I remember clear backpacks coming up after the florida school shooting. One interesting counter argument that I remember was feminine hygiene products, or let's call it hemorrhoid or asthma medication. With clear backpacks, these kids and teenagers can't keep their business to themselves. It's prisonification like you said.

My protest would be always having completed homework facing outward, so people can copy it from you.

Haha. My protest would be putting a brown paper bag inside the clear bag, and putting everything in that. They probably have rules against that though. I bet you could do something like that though

I guess most of them just carry stuff in their pockets or inside their binders in the backpack if they want to hide anything.

Hhahah good one. I guess we should put all of our $$ into clear binders while the getting is good.

I mean seriously there probably is a market for high-end clear backpacks now. The cheap end is probably saturated. It'd be cool if you could make a clear backpack that meets all the rules but still has some privacy compartments or something, to kind of get back at the stupidity of it a bit while providing a backpack that technically meets the rules.

I'm really into transparency, so I would protest this by wearing clear pants, as well.

Maybe the principal should have to wear clear clothes too. It is for safety, after all /s
