Bus Driver orders black students to give up seats to white students

> I mean...what goes through someone's mind when they do that..."Oooh this is a good idea...never been tried before!" :word: [http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060824/NEWS01/608240332/1002/NEWS](http://www.shreveporttimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20060824/NEWS01/608240332/1002/NEWS) > COUSHATTA -- Nine black children attending Red River Elementary School were directed last week to the back of the school bus by a white driver who designated the front seats for white children.

The situation has outraged relatives of the black children who have filed a complaint with school officials.

Superintendent Kay Easley will meet with the family members in her office this morning.

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People also is considering filing a formal charge with the U.S. Department of Justice. NAACP District Vice President James Panell, of Shreveport, said he would apprise Justice attorneys of the situation this week. He’s considering asking for an investigation into the bus incident and other aspects of the school system’s operations, including pupil-teacher ratio as it relates to the numbers of white and black children, along with a breakdown of the numbers of black and white teachers employed.

“If the smoke is there, then there’s probably fire somewhere else,” Panell said in a phone interview from New Orleans. “At this point, it is extremely alarming. We fought that battle 50 years ago, and we won. Why is this happening again?”

Easley would not comment much on the allegations Wednesday, saying it is a personnel issue. She acknowledged that she has investigated the claim. And she confirmed that the bus driver did not run her route Wednesday, nor would she today.

Asked if the driver would work for the rest of the year, Easley said, "I’m not going to answer the questions. “» You’re getting all that you’re going to get from me. I’m sorry.”

Louisiana

Me = not surprised

lol. rosa parks would be pissed off.

oh man, thats some funny shit. what a retard. I bet she is some kind of KKK activist or something trying to make some shitty point. I think that colin powell should hang her.

wowzers

Fuckin racist rednecks are one thing but what about a whole racist organization? Because of the actions of one asshole there are probably going to be teachers losing their jobs to fill a quota.

:word:
Talk about blowing things out of proportion.

Rosa Parks would totally shit on the drivers seat. :tup:

:word: Fire the bus driver. /incident

“If there’s smoke there’s fire.” :bsflag: If there’s a racist bus driver there’s a racist bus driver. Uggh…

not defending the action, but there COULD be more to the story. maybe the white kids who ended up sitting in the front were scared, or threatened by the black kids. they could have been being harassed, and seating them up front would end or at least try to stop that. hell they might have even been harassing the others.

besides, who ever liked sitting in the FRONT of a school bus anyway? i doubt they WANTED to be sitting there.

of course it COULD just be a racist bus driver / school districs / state / country… oh wait, it really is.

I was gonna say… maybe there is more to the story.

shit, just because I bic my head, I get mad dirty looks (people assume I’m a neo nazi or some shit)

i am all for segregation.

she was doing it for the welfare of the children

it was because the shitty a/c system’s cold air wasn’t reaching the back of the bus.

and we all know black people can withstand more heat than white people. duh.

actually, she as aranging the bus based on penis size. it was an asian driver.

too bad, cause rosa parks is dead. now get to the back of the bus

:rofl:

i would guess there was either an attitude problem, or behavior problem. im sure the driver really made 9 kids sit in 2 seats. right. lol

should be interesting to see where this goes though.

Was there a video camera on the bus?
