School bus driver fired for flipping off president

Fired for giving the finger to our most duplicitous, disingenuous, and dangerous-to-democracy Prez? Seems to me that a supportable, more appropriate action by the school district that canned her would be to require the driver to write a 500-word essay on why the president deserved her one-finger salute--and then be required to read it in front of all of the school’s students over the age of 13.

As a former worker advocate who represented many unjustly terminated and otherwise disciplined workers, I’d put my money on the termination not being sustained. That depends in great part, however, on the driver’s work record, length of service, whether her action was actually observed by any of the students, the age of the students, how management handled similar infractions in the past, and other factors.

But for sure, at her termination hearing I’d also enter the following two photos of President Bush providing the American public with the fine example that this driver was merely emulating:




I don't understand; how the hell can someone be fired in this country for following the lead of their president?

Hey, I’m just asking a question here.
