An Ohio school bus driver has been charged with a misdemeanor in a Sept. 30 accident in Circleville.
The frightening moments were caught on tape.
Police released a surveillance tape, recorded aboard the bus that shows what happened.
Investigators said the bus went off the right side of the road. The driver tried to get back on the road and the bus tipped over.
Thirty students from the Logan-Elm School District received only bumps and bruises.

That was horrific.
Still, if this were a story of a capsizing ferry in Bangladesh, probably at least 50% of posters would be humorous and/or cracking one-liners.

You reveal that the bus driver was a
she.
Including gender feeds prejudice and unhumorous jokes about women drivers that are much worse than jokes about the poor souls of Bangladesh. It is important that responsible journalists and readers not allow factual details to enter a story that impede the progressive agenda.

WHERE THE HELL WERE THE SEATBELTS!!!!!!! If ONE OF THOSE KIDS WERE MY CHILD, I would sue the CRAP out of the school district, the state and the bus factory? Here in TEXAS you have to buckle up, it's the law! School buses SHOULD have seatbelts!! NO IF OR BUTS ABOUT IT!
