Post #272,086 by Simon_Jester 11/3/06 3:16:08 PM Reply	I'm lost... she's a bus driver, she doesn't have tenure and she doesn't teach children. While her conduct was rude and inappropriate in front of children, it doesn't demonstrate a lack of capability to provide safe conduct for children. Furthermore, if she is fired, and replaced with someone who DOES have a history of accidents while driving, what does that say about their commitment to safety?
Post #272,087 by lincoln 11/3/06 3:20:41 PM Reply	I was surprised that she didn't bring up a First Amendment defense: "Hey, it's my constitutional right to express myself on political matters..." lincoln "Chicago to my mind was the only place to be. ... I above all liked the city because it was filled with people all a-bustle, and the clatter of hooves and carriages, and with delivery wagons and drays and peddlers and the boom and clank of freight trains. And when those black clouds came sailing in from the west, pouring thunderstorms upon us so that you couldn't hear the cries or curses of humankind, I liked that best of all. Chicago could stand up to the worst God had to offer. I understood why it was built--a place for trade, of course, with railroads and ships and so on, but mostly to give all of us a magnitude of defiance that is not provided by one house on the plains. And the plains is where those storms come from." -- E.L. Doctorow Never apply a Star Trek solution to a Babylon 5 problem. I am not merely a "consumer" or a "taxpayer".

Post #272,092 by bepatient 11/3/06 3:51:43 PM Reply	Responsibility is door to door and while not teaching a subject, it is my expectation that all representatives of the school to conduct themselves appropriately in front of my children. She did not. And I would have big problems if they replaced this driver with someone less capable. Thanks for la poisson rouge.

Post #272,105 by jbrabeck 11/3/06 5:30:14 PM Reply	Surprise - I concur with beep She was terminated for inappropriate behaviour in front of the kids. Plus, if she's driving a bus, how could she have two hands on the wheel and still flip the bird. Now whether or not termination was too harsh a punishment, I would have to read the employee conduct rules of the bus company. First amendment does not apply, she's driving a school bus one-handed. Safety issue. A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort. (Herm Albright)

Post #272,125 by Silverlock 11/3/06 7:33:58 PM Reply	Need more info to decide if I agree Re: Safety. Was she stopped waiting for the motorcade to go by? Re: Causing the kids to see something obscene, disgusting and depraved they've never seen before. Did the kids actually see the Chenying? Re: Severity of punishment. Was the firing from management in accordance with regs (perhaps a warning might have sufficed) or from pressure from the Gov? Still, it was dumb to get caught. ----------------------------------------- Draft Obama [link\|http://www.draftobama.org/\|now].
