Bus Driver Tells 12 Year-Old He Should Have Been Aborted Because of Romney Yard Sign

Posted by Jim Hoft on Thursday, October 11, 2012, 7:03 AM

A bus driver told a 12 year-old student that he should have been aborted because his family had a Romney-Ryan sign in their yard.
Freedom Eden reported:

Mark Belling discussed this story on his radio program yesterday. It’s another tale of a Leftist behaving badly.
The Leftist, a 78-year-old woman, a New Berlin school bus driver, has been harassing a student on her bus route because there’s a Mitt Romney yard sign at his home.
The child attends a Catholic school in New Berlin. He rides a Durham school bus. The company also provides service to the New Berlin public school district.
Belling read a letter from the 12-year-old boy’s mother, detailing the alleged abusive behavior by the bus driver.
Apparently, the Romney-Ryan yard sign bugs the bus driver and she’s been harassing the boy, making rude comments to him related to politics.
When the driver engaged the 12-year-old boy in a political conservation, he responded by saying that Obama is pro-abortion.
The bus driver allegedly said to the child, “Maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you.”
Understandably, this really upset the boy. Other kids on the bus verified the boy’s account and are providing written statements.
The mom made her son’s school aware of the situation. She also went to Durham School Service in New Berlin and spoke to Michael Bennett, the manager.

UPDATE: The bus driver was fired after the report on Mark’s show.

Edit: The inset text is only a portion of the linked story. Here is the remainder:

She learned the driver has been with the company for 20 years.

The mom told the people at Durham she was filing a complaint with the state for verbal abuse to a child.

They agreed that what the bus driver did was wrong but they first needed to talk with corporate resources in Chicago before proceeding.

Bennett called the boy's mom later and informed her the driver was suspended for the rest of the day and will no longer drive the bus for kids from the boy's school.

So, this offensive woman can be around public school kids but not Catholic school kids.

When Mark Belling contacted Bennett and asked him about the matter, Bennett would only say "no comment," being very dismissive.

A bus driver tells a boy his mother should have aborted him and the manager of the company makes no effort to apologize. That's terrible public relations.

I wonder why a 78-year-old is allowed to drive a bus full of kids, especially one that lashes out about politics to a child on her bus.

This sort of harassment is completely unacceptable. Telling a child his mother should have aborted him is way out of line.

This kind of abuse should not be tolerated. I'm glad the boy's mother brought this story to the public's attention via talk radio.

Taxpayers in New Berlin should know the sort of company Durham is and the sort of people employed by them. Parents should be concerned that their children are being exposed to someone like this abusive bus driver.

Can you imagine what the response would be if a school bus driver with conservative views harassed a child with an Obama sign in his yard?

At the very least, the company should issue an apology to the abused boy and his parents, as well as all the children served by Durham.

There is a further update at the Freedom Eden link, if you want to read more.

If this was a bus driver harassing a child with an Obama sign on his parents front lawn, she'd be fired and crucified in the news.

She thought it would be an easy win, unfortunately for her the kid wasn't raised a Democrat!

[Helpdesk9]

Sorry, but the kid's remark WAS wrong.



















What he SHOULD have said is "I'm sorry that you and your "life partner" voted for Obama only to find out he doesn't support gay marriage either"



Boom.

Veni, Vidi, Edi

Further proof that it is the LEFT that is chock full of mean, nasty and unruly people.

I am all for free speech but speaking like that to a child....well..I'd have to call in and ask for her dismissal....sorry.

seems to me that this libtard bus driver was typical spineless so dared not debate the sign with the parents at that house. In typical chicken-sheet fashion took out frustrations on their child. Wow.
