Bus driver fired for flipping Bush the bird.

Sorry to resurrect this, but the Congressman, at an AUGUST King County Fundraiser, had this to say:

by Dave Reichert:

And as the motorcade went by, the President and I drove by on I-5, the President was having a great time. He was waving at everybody, he waved at the kids. He got the biggest kick out of the kids leaning out the window to say hello to the President of the United States.

The sad part of it is though, we got to the last bus – and I won’t tell you which school district this was – the bus driver flipped the President off.

So the very next day, you know what I did? I called the superintendent of that school district and that bus driver no longer works for that school.

It’s not about “we must protect the children!” from any little bad language, it’s about setting an example as an authority figure, about how to behave decently in public. How can the bus driver then punish a student for flipping someone else off, for example?

No, it’s not a horrid offense, but for those who are claiming that it’s no big deal to flip someone off-try giving your boss the ol’ one finger salute when you go back to work on Monday.
