I think the blame falls on the parent, no school district is going to change ridership without telling anyone. While I question the merit of the program, I doubt the school kept it a secret. I've got two kids in school and there is a flood of info to keep up with but as a parent that's one of your responsibilities.

Once again the media get's it wrong and everyone that just scans headlines goes off on a rant. The kids weren't being punished for speaking English, the stupid parent probably ignored the notices about a route change resulting in a minor family crisis, not national news.

Why didn't the unbiased media interview the Principal and bus company officials or at least cite where they declined an interview? Because it would have killed the story that's why.

Now we'll get to listen to all the drive time talk shows rambling about this and all the morons that call up and parrot back what the host says because they're incapable of forming their own opinion with a little research.
