Guess you missed that nugget, Zan.
On a side note...wasn't it a Hmong guy that flipped out and killed all those hunters?
Oh, Zan missed something again. There's a shocker.
wow mindia incapable of thinking for himself, or coming up with his own argument. There's a shocker
btw the children go to Phalen Lake Elementary School, the bus they took was from a Phalen Lake language academy teaching Hmong students English. They were on the wrong bus.

I believe you are correct. Chai Vang I believe his name was, and he's in jail.

Welcome to the conversation. Feel free to show me how I'm wrong by dazzling us with your intellect.

I was jabbing at Minda more than you, but I guess the same applies.
The thing that upsets me the most about this story is how everyone will continue to tell me about how liberally biased the media is, when you see stuff like this written solely to enrage the fascist in everyone every single day.

That doesn't mean the REASON for splitting the bus was because of ethnicity, so yes, you did read wrong.
You read wrong motherfucker!

Who is screaming "liberal bias" with this article? I'm not. I think segregating the students is retarded, and kicking the 2 Engrish students off the bus was absolutely disgusting, but they live out of the district anyway so yes, it's the parent's responsibility to get their children to school from now on.

Look this is how it should have worked...Dillhole driver:"Hey Im not gonna be your driver anymore. here is a paper explaining it. Your new bus number will be(insert bus number here). "
Do they all need to get a chance? yes, if they are Legal. and that means their parents are legal. if the parents are illegal they should not be allowed to stay either. Send them back to their country. Fucking canadians anyways.

In general people tell me the media is all liberally biased in the US. I've been saying for years that's full of shit.
And they didn't kick the kids off the bus, they brought them to school and then didn't bring them home.

Well, if you listen to (or watch) CNN or CBS news, you will definitely see and hear liberal bias if you open your mind. Fox news is the only one I trust to get accurate news. Fox is not conservatively-biased at all. They are fair and balanced, just like they advertise.

Only if you continue spouting off about how everybody thinks America's news is "liberally biased." Certain networks are, but I don't kick and scream about it because I have the option of changing the channel to a real news network.

If fox news leaned to the right any harder they would fall over. I think you know that too mindia and your just stirring up trubble.

They lean to the right, but not as much as you're saying.
In comparison to the rest of the networks? Of course it looks like they're fucking insane right-winger nutjob catering morons...
It's a matter of perspective.

They were not kicked off the bus for being of the wrong ethnicity. They were not kicked off the bus. They were simply told that they were getting on the wrong bus and they would not be allowed on that bus in the future.
They were on the wrong bus, brought to the right school, and then they did not know what bus(if there even was one) to bring them home after school. That is a failing of the parents & of the school administrators in communicating that properly. That is not racism, discimination, or anything else that people have gone so far to see in this terrifyingly xenophobic country of ours.
More power to the immigrants who came here for work / escape from persecution. Only to find it being flung in their faces and realizing that even with all the hypocrisy, America is still a better place than their home nation.
