It's hard to believe the bus driver could be this stupid - not to mention that backwards.
I can't help but wonder if there's more to the story. For instance, did the bus driver make the kids sit in bus-stop order, so the first kids off the bus sat up front?
I suspect I'm wrong, that the bus driver is just an evil idiot, but I'd still like to hope that there's more to it.
That is certainly possible. But if you read the entire article, you will see that the bus driver only allocated the last two seats for the nine black kids -- not the last two rows, but the last two seats. Also, the bus driver called one of the families to apologize.
Our driver put bigger/older kids in the back to help with emergency evacuations.
