It is difficult to believe that this kind of thing is still happening in 2006. Actually….the more I think about it, it really isn’t hard to believe. It is very frustrating though. This state, and the South in general are never going to reach our full potential until all the racists like this bus driver have been taken out in the street and publicly stoned.
How bout this Headline….SCHOOL BUS DRIVER MADE WHITE KIDS SIT IN FRONT OF BUS…..Why wasnt THAT the headline?
Aren’t all the children in Red River Parish black???
First, let me say that this sort of action is deplorable. Now, not to make light of this, but I can remember when I was in school, we always wanted to sit as far back in the bus as possible, probably because we did not like our bus drivers. When it is a choice, it really is o.k. to sit in the back, but when it is forced on someone, especially a kid, it is pretty crappy. Someone needs to have their ass jumped in. Sounds like that bus driver must have ridden the short bus in school.
Almost as bad as Naggin Nagin’s racism huh?
I can’t figure out what the problem is. After they became equal I enjoyed riding in the back of the bus. Call me ignorant. So who gets assigned the back seat? If you can’t asign blue gums to the back seat do you assign white folks to the back seat? Reverse discremenation?
People need to dwell upon what is important not on the seat ion a bus.
Read the story.
The bus driver assigned two rows of seats to NINE students. Smaller children were told to sit in the laps of older students, while white students, sitting in the front of the bus, were allowed to take up entire rows for themselves.
What’s almost as alarming as this story is the reaction it has spawned.
We shouldn’t be having this conversation in 2006. Bus drivers shouldn’t be assigning seats based on race. Period.
I can’t believe that someone in 2006 would actually use the term “blue gums” and expect intelligent people to give a shit about what such a bigot would have to say.
Get a life.
How do you even know these children are telling the truth?? Good grief. All parents beleive their children. I would love to hear the WHOLE story.
