Fury over ominous note is left on Pennsylvania school bus for young children
Daily Mail UK ^ | February 3, 2025 | Sonya Gugliara

'racist' note left on a Pennsylvania school bus prohibiting students from speaking Spanish has sparked fierce outrage from community members.

The controversial message reads: 'Out of respect to English only students there will be NO speaking Spanish on this bus!'

Juniata County parents and school district officials learned about the jarring note last week.

Both the school district and the bus company, Rohrer Bus, have profusely denied any involvement in writing the 'racially insensitive' memo, which is allegedly signed by 'owner/management.'

Rohrer Bus addressed the situation in a statement on Saturday, claiming that the particular bus is owned and operated by a 'separate entity' which is responsible for putting up the letter.

'Rohrer Bus has been made aware of a racially insensitive note that was discovered on one of the school buses serving the Juniata County School District,' the statement reads.

'We want to make it explicitly clear that Rohrer Bus did not author or endorse this statement in any way. Such language and sentiments are entirely contrary to our company’s values and commitment to fostering a respectful and inclusive environment for all students, families, and staff.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to Rohrer Bus, asking for the 'separate entity' to be identified.

How about they speak English while they are in the USA not just in our US taxpayer school?

With that said from what I know most school buses these days are privately owned and operated so they can make their own rules. Speak English or we call ICE

There is no “race” which is unable to speak English. So, hardly racist at all.

So it’s racist to insist that American and immigrant children speak English outside their homes?

Language is not a race, and race is the wrong term to use anyway; there are many languages and nations

My dad was three years old when he arrived from Germany with his family in 1927. You can imagine how well speaking German went over in the Bronx just nine years after the end of WW I.

Germany got the blame but it was not their fault.

WWI was BS.

All propaganda to get the US into the war that had nothing to do with us.

Has the FBI gotten involved. Perhaps some student wrote it. There needs to be federal hate crime prosecution for that.
