Oh, that's right. On the campaign trail, as usual.
Al and Jesse never show up when a white person gets beat up by black people.
They dont care about that. They would have been all over it if it was white kids beating up a black kid.
And this still has nothing to do with Obama.
So we elect a half black president and you thought racism would end the next day?
be realistic.

race issues will never end. open minded or not. it's human nature . people of different races have always clashed. one will always defend ones own kind and see it they're way. it's time to be real and accept this.

Pretty much. You gravitate and stick by your kind usually. A white guy and a black guy will defend to the death their opposing views on a racial topic.

Black kids jump white kids and white kids jump black kids. Why is this school bus fight a news story at all?Because FOX news has an agenda, that's why.

Is it any wonder kids are behaving this way when their parents are filling them with prejudice and making comments like I've read here?
Like I said in an earlier post - it's obviously been awhile since these people were in high school. Fights break out about the most trivial things and none of the other kids rush to break up the fights - they stand in circles and cheer like it's a prime time boxing match.

I don't even know why this is a news story - this happens every day. Somewhere in a school in this country students are fighting right now.

Truth is the bus driver ought to be brought up on charges for not doing anything about this. Your childrens safety is in they're hands between your house and the school. They are responsible for safely delivering your children to school and as such should be held accountable for this behavior running unchecked.

The company is standing behind the bus driver, stating that he followed company procedures. He was on an overpass at the time of the beating, so he couldn't pull over. I'm not defending him. But if you've ever worked in the realm of public education, including bus driving, etc, you will find that adults are pretty much powerless when it comes to matters of discipline and order. They can and have had lawsuits slapped on them by miffed and/or irresponsible parents who are more apt to believe that their little Johnny was in the right. Kids have all the power these days and they know it.

so when he told them to sit down FIVE MINUTES after the first fight he was still on an overpass? must be a long bridge.
all he had to do was stop the bus and get up and turn around and say something. maybe make the bad kid sit up front.
