Those aren't bullet proof blankets. They are ment for use in tornado and earthquake prone regions, for flying and falling debris.

What happened is some twat cocksucker with a marketing degree that works at/for the company that makes them decided, "Hey, these things are made with Dyneema, that stuff is in body armor just like Kevlar, let's sell it to schools as a bullet proof blanket!"

Nevermind the fact that:
Dyneema isn't as effective as Kevlar.
There's no such thing as bullet "proof."
Preying on the fears of parents about the safety of their children is low.
Claiming ballistic resistance higher than what is actually capable is fraud.
Claiming to meet NIJ standards without having been tested as such is not only fraud, it's also a federal felony.
Not to mention the fact that it doesn't even cover the whole kid and there's nothing to stop someone from just pulling it off. What bad guy will see that and think, "Aw man! I can't shoot them now!"
