No.

I may not like her chosen method of articulation, but the government has no business punishing her for articulating political speech.

The irony is her employer wouldn't have been any he wiser if she hadn't been bragging about it. I like the statement by the President, "That one's not a fan."

You are going to flunk the bar, my friend. You need the read the facts carefully before answering the question.

She was not fired because it was the president she was flipping off. She was fired because she flipped someone off. Anyone. It could have been me. It could have been you. It could have been anyone. School bus drivers do not have the freedom to flip off anyone while they are driving children to and from the school. If they do, they should... no, they MUST be fired.

I hope a question like this doesn't come up on your bar exam. Make sure you know the facts fully before you start writing.

Did the President throw her in a gulag?

No. Her school district fired her for making an obscene gesture in front of the kids on the bus.

The school has every right to prohibit obscene speech in front of children. They did the correct thing to fire her.

The Government had nothing to do with her firing, the story clearly states she was already fired before they even contacted them because she was bragging about it.
