I HOPE they get rid of the "lady" on the bus - and replace her with someone who WANTS hugs from someone who willingly gives them.........anything else means schools are DOOMED!

From my standpoint, the schools were doomed a long time ago.

The purpose of public schools is no longer to educatate a Free people, but to enslave them.

Thanks for the ping, Habs. Isn't this just too ridiculous to believe? If the monitor and/or driver feel uncomfortable getting a hug from a loving, young, special needs child, let them find a new job.

Friends of mine adopted young Russian orphans who had been deprived of human touching and affection until adopted at age 6. The human brain does not develop without the bonding that youngsters receive through the usual hugs and affection, or so say the professionals. These two youngsters are now in a special facility because they are uncontrollable.

This is a sad and sickening story. Let's hope the publicity causes the school to reconsider.

I'm guessing that the "monitor" is a fat and ugly woman who never smiles, and whose sole purpose in life is to ruin other people's lives. In other words, a typical communist control-freak.

Those people are cowards. Totally worthless cowards. To loosely quote Ayn Rand, the communist PC regime may appear to be a vicious bear when viewed from afar, but upon further inspection, the "bear" is nothing more than millions of cockroaches crawling all over each other looking for crumbs. (Rand was talking about Soviet Russia, but the analogy is close enough)

Ugly, disgusting cockroaches. And like cockroaches, they scatter when the light of Truth is shined upon them.

How much longer are Free Americans going to tremble whenever these worthless cockroaches speak? How much longer are we going to continue to elect spineless politicians who spend 90% of their day trying to figure out how not to "offend" the parasites? We are Free men and women, not slaves, and it's high time we started acting like it.

In the short term (until things get "hot") that means mocking the tyrants wannabees, laughing at them, and ignoring their illegitimate edicts. Any good American not only has the Right to do this, but also the Duty.

Not enough time allow a child to develop forethought, personal responsibility, and morality with all the sex re-education and socialist skills that need to be taught. And we absolutely can't permit parents to shape their kids morals.

The truth is, good and bad behavior cannot simply be differentiated by a finite series of rules. It takes more than a check list of do's and don'ts. But it is the easy way. And it is the proper course if you desire a land of spiritually devoid automatons.

I am afraid that this nation's future citizens will need an ample helping of fortitude and this young boys compassion if we have to face the darkness we see forming before us.

"Not enough time allow a child to develop forethought"... should be
Not enough time to allow...

Just in case yall's subconscious isn't as efficient at filling in voids as mine is.

“Students must demonstrate responsible behavior on our buses and bus drivers must insist on proper behavior to ensure the safety of all students,” said the letter, which was signed by Fowler. “Misconduct, carelessness or thoughtlessness on the part of any student can create a safety hazard for all students on a school bus.”

Zero tolerance and zero thought in action.

Hugs are better than drugs, Fowler. The Safety uber Alles mindset marches on.
