The Shreveport Times COUSHATTA -- Nine black children attending Red River Elementary School were directed last week to the back of the school bus by a white driver who designated the front seats for white children. The driver must be a tad foolish...

| Before i make a opinion about he issue. Could it be feasible that the bus driver made them sit according to the route he drove? If he did do it based solely on race then he's stupid and will pay for it dearly. | ||||

| I don't think this means racism is "alive and well". But the bus driver if the story is true should be fired (they are asking for termination). The NAACP is probably going to blow this into a bigger issue than it is. There will always be racism, but blowing everything out of proportion isn't going to help anymore. It'll just strengthen the ideals of those few who are still racist. The best way to handle this is to apologize to the families, fire the bus driver and move on. If it happens again in this school district, then you can make a fuss about it. Until then, I think it's being blown out of proportion. | ||||

| I'd like to hear more about this before I judge the guy.. who made the accusation about it being about race? The parents? Maybe they were being a distraction to the driver and so he sent them to the back so he wouldn't have to deal with it as much. | ||||
