Board of Education

The Board of Education is a unique nail board found in the Clifftop Shacks. It is composed of a plank of wood with nails hammered through it like all other nail boards 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.
