You be the judge...

Wrong Who

I think the bus driver was wrong, only because of the climate we are in now. The two boys were definitely wrong, and appeared to be extremely provocative in their behavior.

The line in the story that really bothered me was the statement, "They'll determine whether they provoked it or he provoked it, but you can't touch a kid." That is the problem. The boys KNOW that there is sentiment against the bus driver, and expect to get away with any behavior they want. I don't doubt at all that the school district will terminate the bus driver. The big question is whether or not the parents will discipline their wayward boys.

Who Is Wrong? History & Civil Business Politics

Classic case of the sign of the times... "And their children shall be their oppressors..."

Bus Driver frustrated that a youth has the power to stop a whole bus while he calls the authorities. He used poor judgement but I remember that when an adult said something to us in the 50's... people complied. It is truly a different world.

I would say, though, that in our day, we definitely send the wrong message to kids when we back them up when they revile authority... even when authority is wrong, there is a better way to appeal.

It's sad. Very sad. I used to work group homes when in college and what I saw here in this video among 'normal' kids... was considered abarrent then... it's sad... so sad.
