Shall I reiterate again that it is not the job of a school bus driver to educate children?

Reiterate it as much as you like, even if its not part of your job title. And feel free to be helpful to people, and even friendly.

Take a deep breath...let your emotions calm a little...now meditate...and now I shall try to explain what you have seemed unwilling to comprehend yet again:

It is OK to do good things when driving a bus. It is not OK to do bad things when driving a bus. Some of the good things bus drivers do when driving a bus (hold on to your hat) are not necessarily related to the driving of the bus (oh my gosh, how radical--but its not their job--but its not their job--oh my gosh, AAAAHHH--calmly now, calmly now).

Another lighting bolt revelation for you: not all the good things people do are required by their job description (oh my, now don't hyperventalate--calmly now, calmly now).

And now, something a little advanced, we are going to put it together (don't be scared now...just calmly concentrate): If you accept the bus driver was doing a good thing (educating) and not a bad thing (indoctrinating), and you accept that her responsibilities as a bus driver were being fulfilled, then you should conclude what she was doing was ok.

Now don't blame me if I am a little, (a lot (no a whole heck of a lot)) patronizing. Its just part of my job, and sense it isn't part of yours, you don't get to be patronizing back (though firing you would be a little harsh).

"It is OK to do good things when driving a bus. It is not OK to do bad things when driving a bus."

That is correct. And if it is against policy for bus drivers to 'teach' the riders of their buses, then it would be a bad thing to do so.

You would expect employees to adhere to policy, would you not?

"Now don't blame me if I am a little, (a lot (no a whole heck of a lot)) patronizing."

Oh, I understand. People generally revert to being patronizing when they have no real basis to their argument.
