She should be fired no matter who she was giving the finger to. If a bus driver hauling school children were to give Hillary or Bill or Jimmuh, the finger, I would be the first to call for their termination. That is not acceptable behavior at all.

Someone with that kind of judgment ought not to be driving children around.

and let her know she should tell the bus drivers union to take a long hike on a short pier!

My son came home today to tell me about the lunch supervisor. It's unbelievable, the way she talks to these kids. Today she apparently told one 10 or 11 year-old the French equivalent of "F*** off, you little s***"!!!!!

There are some behaviors that are not acceptable in front of children and giving the finger to the president, or to anyone, is one of them.

I agree that a bus driver should not be making obscene gestures at anyone.

I also will bet money that there's something in the school contract she operates under that allows her to be terminated for behavior that brings discredit on the school district.

If there is no such clause, then the district will be forced to take her back, imho. They will have some process, though, for terminating employees, and this incident would be the beginning of the paper trail that will eventually result in that.

As I said, though, I'm betting they already have a behavior code for school employees.
