University of Maryland Eastern Shore professors to get bulletproof whiteboards

University of Maryland Eastern Shore professors to get bulletproof whiteboards - Baltimore Sun:
"Calling "campus violence a reality" to prepare for, the University of Maryland Eastern Shore announced plans Thursday to spend $60,000 on the Clark Kent of teacher supplies: an innocuous-looking white board that can stop bullets.
The high-tech tablet — which hangs on a hook, measures 18 by 20 inches and comes in pink, blue and green — can be used as a personal shield for professors under attack, according to the company that makes it, and a portable writing pad in quieter times."
