Board of Education

The Board of Education is a unique Nail Board found in the Clifftop Shacks. It is composed of bits of wood with nails hammered through it like all other nailboards found throughout the Capital Wasteland.

Behind the scenes

 * In the Munchkin card game there is a weapon called the Board of Education, a 2 by 4 with a nail in it. Munchkin is made by Steve Jackson Games, who also makes GURPS. As Fallout 1 was originally supposed to use the GURPS system, it's possible that the weapon is a reference.


 * A board of education or a school board or school committee is the title of the board of directors of a school, local school district or higher administrative level.


 * The inscription "Board of Education" is a common pun found etched or burned into the paddles used for corporal punishment.


 * In The Simpsons episode 'Principal Charming', after Bart has been involved in another of his many acts of vandalism Principal Skinner refers to a paddle locked on his office wall away saying 'wish I could pull the trusty Board of Education out of retirement'.
