Act of Heroism Brings Warm Smile, Pink Slip

[Hobbit]

A woman who was being threatened with a gun by her husband saw a school bus driving by and, looking for a quick escape aboard a vehicle only the most insane and remorseless killers would go after and pounded on the door. The bus driver, seeing the predicament this woman was in, opened the door and let her on, saving her life. Apparantly, though, this was against the school district's rules, so they fired her. After all, if they showed even a little bit of tolerance, they couldn't call it a zero tolerance policy.

Thats cruel, but I could see why they do that. That bus driver put ever child at risk on the bus. i think I would have saved the woman too though.

I would have done the same thing i think. But the guys who fired her are just being over strict here. What does this teach children? Simple: Don't help people or you get screwed. Is that really what we want them to learn?

It shows the silliness of absolute no tolerance. There are always exceptions to everything and that needs to be taken into consideration. But the ignorance of the school administrations knows no bounds.
