Bus Driver Tells Boy Chanting 'Romney' With Classmates He 'Should Have Been Aborted' Unidentified 81-year-old driver was fired after an investigation By DAILY MAIL REPORTER 15 October 2012
A 12-year-old Wisconsin boy is haunted by the cruel taunt of his bus driver, who told him that his mother should have opted for abortion instead of bringing him into the world.
Joey Hartlaub was confused and upset by the remark and his mother, understandably, was furious. Debbie Ann Hartlaub said the 81-year-old bus driver had been harassing her son for weeks. She went straight to the bus company with her story and got the woman fired.

The boy's mother said the 81-year-old bus driver had been harassing her son for weeks, following a Romney-Ryan poster being installed on their lawn, right Joey told Fox that the incident occurred after he and his classmates were chanting 'Romney! Romney!' in the back of the bus. 'She kind of yelled at us, and told me to come up front,' Joey said. Then, Joey explained himself, citing President Barack Obama's pro-abortion politics as the reason for his support of Mitt Romney.
'Well, maybe your mother should have chosen an abortion for you!' the bus driver allegedly told the seventh grader.

But, then they get the kids from kindergarten to grad school. A lot of time for brainwashing.
It doesn't matter whether there were any witnesses, because nobody was charged with a crime. Are you trying to tell the bus company who they should hire and fire?
You're the one who sounds like a liberal.
I gotta tell you. I am 60. I don’t want to see anybody (self included) over 70 driving a bus with my grandchildren aboard.

Nana, I had to read your post a couple of times before I surmised that you were trying to tell us that there may be another side to the story.. This is true, and there may be some validity to her frustration..
All of that being true, and the boy may have been a bit more than an innocent victim, there is never, NEVER, an excuse for an adult to confront any child with that type of vile response..
She has a right to her opinion, no matter what it is, but you cannot impost it while an serving as an authority over another, especially a child..
If the facts were reversed, and the kid was shouting Obama, the act would have been just as wrong.. Don’t you agree?
Little Joeys “mother” claimed poor little Joey was “harrassed” for weeks by the bus drivewr...
It seems that lttle Joey was not afraid of being so called “harrassed” by the bus driver...
rather he was taunting her for weeks wanting a reaction...
(It seems to be a matter of “I dont know why the big mean ol bus driver picks on po lil ol innocent me. i werent doin nuffin”)
So after weeks on end of Joey and his gang tormenting her she called him up front and alone to speak to him..
(I wonder if he had any runins with his teachers or the bus driver had complained about him before)
of course hes Trayvon good...
anyhoo if she said that then she should not have...
however, there are some other interesting parts to this...
Thank you for your interest in my comments...
1. What was it she really said...
2. Did Joey stretch the truth ???
3 Did Joeys Mommy stretch the truth ???
4. was there any witnesses (other than Joeys Mommy who was not there...)
5. this lady has a longer endurement than I might have had with these punks..
6 I hope this woman sues...
7 Why is a 81 year old woman having to work ???
8 where is the credit from you so called “conservatives” for her practicing capitalism and working to support herself ???
9 Where is your credit for her not amongst Willards 47% ???
10 are you a practing hypocrite or is it just today ???
Joey doesn’t have to polite.

I love to see you and a 12 year old punk who acted like Joey...
LLS
So the bus driver is OK with cuts to his Medicare coverage?
Must be an ex-government employee.
Obamacare will finish him off.
Yes you know I agree...
It doesnt excuse the kid just because its Willard..
Yes the bus driver should be reprimanded or something...
But the next bus driver for that bus should insist that Joey and his cohorts not be allowd on her bus...
Joeys Mommy can drive himn to school from now on...
A bus driver has a right ot safety and protection on the job...
a 12 year old is as big or bigger than an 81 year old lttle old woman...
Im a woman only 63 ans my 12 year old granddaughter is as tall as me...
I wouldnt like my mother to have to be subjected to a lot of tormenting from punks like Joey...
I wonder if theres a record of her complasining about him ???
You hope she sues? What are you a lawyer? That's not something a conservative would say. A conservative would tell this old lady to find a job with somebody who WANTS to employ her. THAT'S capitalism.
Why does she have to work? Gee maybe because she was stupid enough to listen to all the commies who told her that she didn't need to save for retirement because Obama and Social Security would pay all her bills.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense. The company should hire somebody who insists that they not be required to actually do their job.
Yes indeed my dear girl, all good questions that should be answered before we make any clear conclusions.. :)
If you think chants of “Romney, Romney” are taunts against you personally, then it’s probably because you are a stupid commie piece of garbage who thinks it’s ok to kill innocent babies.
___________________________________
No I would think it was because Im pro-life and Willard is lifelong pro-abortion...
and he would be the one who is “a stupid commie piece of garbage who thinks it’s ok to kill innocent babies”
Meanwhile you do have a strange way of thinking...
Has someone been taunting you with Romney Romney Romney ???
Poor baby...
and more and more I would rather wait till all the evidence is presented before I, the juror, leave for the jury room...
Well Joe maybe you would like to post haste to Wisconsin and take lttle Joey to school...
The next bus driver might also object to his verbal attacks...
Respect is earned. This woman has earned our contempt. Why would anyone show respect to such a contemptible person? Where is her respect for innocent human life? She deserves to be treated with as much respect as she shows towards the innocent babies she advocates murdering. None.

Yeah
But Joey’s Mommy didnt do that
(”the bus driver ALLEGEDLY told the seventh grader.”)
Joey’s Mommy went to the woman’s employer and got her FIRED...
“She went straight to the bus company with her story and got the woman fired.”
Thats Liberalism...
Thats OBAMAism...
You think they owe her a job because she's old and didn't bother to save for her own retirement?
THAT'S Obamaism.
She needs to go find a job somewhere else not hire some stupid thug shakedown-artist lawyer.

Kid if Willard has not earned your contempt then all your royal “we” is in vain...
Earth to Tailgunner Joe
Your own words...
“Respect is earned. That guy (Willard) has earned our contempt. Why would anyone show respect to such a contemptible person? Where is his respect for innocent human life? He deserves to be treated with as much respect as he shows towards the innocent babies he advocates murdering. None.”
Meanwhile you dont know what the former bus driver believes...
But know you can pay for her unemployment along with Joey’s Mommy...
and that Wisconsin school district and bus company for the suit she should bring against them for firing her without cause...
Nothing was proven...
Only the word of the frustrated female who birthed the punk Joey and had an axe to grind...
Meanwhile where the male who sired the punk Joey ???
Oh dear, the so called “conservative” female who birthed him doesnt seem to have a husband or father in the picture...
Now how to catagorize her now ???
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmm ???
