My Everything 23,397 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 This Wednesday, a school bus driver in upstate New York kicked two transgender students off because they refused to change seats. According to a statement released by the administration of Glen Falls High School, the bus driver asked girls to sit on one side of the bus and boys on the other. Two trans boys sat on the boys’ side, like they were told to. The driver asked them to move to the girls’ side. “The students politely refused and remained in their seats, with every right to do so,†the school’s statement said. The driver told them that they could either switch sides or get off the bus. Other students objected, but the driver made the students get out while the bus was still parked outside the school. The students informed the administration via text message and were able to take another bus home. The school says that it is “working with the driver.†“We do not tolerate any form of discrimination against our students,†Michael Patton, the superintendent of Glen Falls schools, said.

Okami Hyejoo 430 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 this happened near the college I attend I was shocked at the responses to this article on FB... so many older people said "they should listen to the bus driver I don't pay taxes for people to not obey the rules and parents need to discipline their kids blah blah blah ignorance ignorance ignorance" lady they were obeying the rules, the school even said they did LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WenSuelRene 5,627 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 Why the f*ck are they using a picture of what appear to be 10 year olds if this happened at a high school? Also, they were not kicked off for being transgender. They were kicked off because they didn't take the suggestion of the bus driver. Sure they felt upset about it and that isn't a problem, but this title is misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vtzu 1,500 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 The article makes it seem like if they switched sides he would have let them stay, so he didn't really kick them off for being trans... They shouldn't have been kicked off at all but it wasn't like he refused them at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PurachinaDisuko 3,721 Posted September 23, 2017 Share Posted September 23, 2017 But...they're boys, even if they're trans boys. They didn't need to move. ​but the title made me think the bus driver said "hey your trans get off my bus" so it's a bit misleading Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
