Rarely will I post something for you that I haven’t watched myself, but I’ll cop straight up to not having watched this one. I can’t take it; the descriptions are bad enough. The cruelty’s so gratuitous and the target so sympathetic that it’s a bit like reading a story about someone torturing a small animal. A taste from the Blaze:
Among the comment that hurt the most, Klein told WHAM-TV that one child’s statement that she is so ugly that her “kids should kill themselves” was particularly hurtful. Her son committed suicide 10 years ago.
She’s a widow, hearing-impaired, and a grandmother of eight. But all’s not lost: Thanks to Reddit and the viral outrage this clip has caused, there may yet be a happy-ish ending.

Remove prayer from schools, any teaching of Biblical based morality, and this is what you get.
Heard in an interview this AM that a group of people on Facebook have raised over a $100,000 to help her get away on a vacation. The NYC school system evidently doesn’t pay her as much as they pay their crossing guards so maybe it will help her get away from moron turdlings she has had to put up with on the bus.
Lots of things bother me about this one.
From the animalistic nazi youth behavior, to the school attitude that the precious babies might be bullied, the fact that we even need bus monitors to the fact that this woman was unable to cope with the situation.
Every one of those kids should’ve had their asses smacked for that. In today’s politically correct culture, the rod has been spared and the child spoiled.
And this is what we get.
To quote that distinguished philosopher Al Cernik,”Now I know why tigers eat their young.”
>>In today’s politically correct culture,<<
It’s not just today. It’s called a mob. Look into the French Revolution. It was there too.
I know there has been a call for “why didn’t someone say something”. I can tell you from personal experience that saying something makes you the next target. This lady got it on a bus. Imagine if that mob not only targeted you on the bus but also in school.
Homeschool. I would put my kids into that Lord of the Flies atmosphere if you paid me a million dollars.
I question my sanity. They would have put me in jail for what I would likely have done had I come upon that situation.
Yet, look at the good that likely will come from her response and experience.
She is my teacher today. She has revealed something profound while showing us something truly ugly that we needed to see.
Amen to that. I'm not particularly religious myself but religion was a major part of my growing up and vital to the moral beliefs I hold today.
I said to my own kids that they can decide as adults how they wish to observe their religion but when they were growing up, we ensured they were at church each week and participated fully in the church activities.
They never gave us any major problems growing up certainly would never have participated in that disgusting scene that played out on that bus. I can guarantee that none of those kids that participated in that cruelty had adequate moral teachings at home and in the church.
Religion played a major part in this nation's founding and we move away from our Judeo-Christian values at our own peril.
The great man I quoted was Al Czervik. My apologies to anyone who was offended...
“Remove prayer from schools, any teaching of Biblical based morality, and this is what you get.”
Prayer that’s said just to ‘get it over with’ in order to make the teacher happy isn’t enough.
Dear God! Hard assed guy here weeping. I want to douse every one of these little bastards in gasoline and throw the match. No loss whatsoever to humanity.
“In today’s politically correct culture, the rod has been spared and the child spoiled”
Of course, the school is blaming this whole thing on social media. Those feral animals should be turned over to juve for assault.
She obviously cannot arrest or detain any of the children; if she touched any of them, I'm sure she and the school district would be sued.
Does she write down the name of kids who are acting up? Does she have a recording device, like some of the students obviously do?
This just sounds like another idiot liberal answer to some problem; we'll just stick grandma on the bus, with no authority, and that will stop the kids from misbehaving. And it will only cost us $15 Thou a year, PER BUS!
Public education is like a carnival of irrationality.
Remember: kids need public school for the ‘socialization’
I agree, why should there be a need for a ‘bus monitor’ anyway? I would bet this is a union rule so the bus drive doesn’t have to be distracted or some such.
At best she was put there as a decoy so that these little vermin wouldn’t turn their sociopathic attention to another student.
