This should not happen !!

Black students ordered to give up seats to whites
There is no excuse for this kind of thing anywhere , especially in the US !!
Seems a school bus driver decided she needed to make some black kids give up their seats and move to THE BACK OF THE BUS !
HERE is the story from the Shreveport ( Louisiana ) Times .
Part of the story -"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."
I would hope the driver is terminated and the school board gets a handle on this soon . Granted , she has supporters who say she was only trying to keep order on a crowded bus in a district with plenty of over-crowding problems to work out . Still , there must have been a better way to do it .

Agreed! That is just NUTS! OOOOO...I am ticked off! What would make that driver think for a SECOND, that anyone would put up with that crap! Especially to do it to kids! Fired is the LEAST that should happen!

Agreed , but it looks like she may get away with it and keep her job . She has lots of "character" witnesses and supporters .
