Their biggest worry should be what toys they are going to play with, not politics.

I think that's the "dumbing down" part of our failing educational system...

You were hired to drive them back and forth to school safely.

I did just that. In fact, I was one of the safest drivers in the department. Sooooooo, I'm not allowed to provide scientific facts to students, why? O, because I was just a lowly bus driver? I'm sorry, I just still don't get it.

It's more than a scientific fact, it's a political issue. And letting children have a childhood isn't dumbing down the education system. There are other things they should be learning at that age. Politics isn't one of them.

Suppose My Wife, an attorney and major Liberal Democrat were to start driving a school bus as a second job.

Being a Liberal she might tell the kids about how she is pro-choice and that they and their parents should be pro-choice. While she is at it she may also cite an article that claims that fetal stem cell research shows great promise.

I would think that if she did those she would be fired, as she should be.

Would you support my wife being fired or should any school bus driver be able to spout any political or religious opinions they have?
