If she'd done it when there were no children around, I'd probably agree that she shouldn't have been fired, but it doesn't set a good example of behavior for the youth.

"The bus driver was not terminated for making an obscene gesture at the president. The bus driver was terminated for making an obscene gesture in view of the students," Niegowski said.

The salient point...

she got off easy

what happens if you flip off Kim Jong-Il?

I doubt she'd want to find out.

Have a nice life, former bus driver.

I don't have a problem with giving her the job back, as long as she agrees to having both of her middle fingers surgically removed...

There is no free speech issue here - it is an issue of common decency, civility and respect for the President of the United States.

There was a time in my life where this act would have elicited a "good whoopin" - or at least universal condemnation. We need to return to that era - but with the moral relativists of the left in charge...fat chance.

If this is the type of behavior she is prone to, what if she did the gesture to some guy with a gun who was prone to road rage?

Fire her Dumb Ass. Now.

Damn nice role model for the youth of today. A true liberal if there ever was one.

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck trying to get your bus driving job back after giving the President the finger."

". District spokeswoman Sara Niegowski said the driver has filed a wrongful termination grievance through the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees"

I was once forced to belong to this joke of a union - they took dues out of your paycheck whether you wanted to be part of the union or not. These wing-nuts are probably cheering idiots like this bus driver on - it seemed that most of the dues that were taken out of me were spent to drum up support for every useless Dem on the ticket. When they passed Campaign Reform, this use of funds by Unions should have been on the top of the list.

"The bus driver was not terminated for making an obscene gesture at the president. The bus driver was terminated for making an obscene gesture in view of the students,"

That's the right answer.

"If you don't, you get stuck flipping off the president while driving a bus filled with children."

On the other hand, she'll have lots of time to vote early & often next Tuesday...
