Student, 18, banned from school bus after she 'stopped gang bullying girl with mental disabilities'

[Tony_FLADEM]

A student who intervened when she saw a gang bullying a girl with mental disabilities was punished by her school.

Stormy Rich, 18, had been riding the bus to Umatilla High School when she noticed a group of younger girls surrounding one student. She complained to the driver and then later to authorities at the school in Florida - which caused her to be banned from riding the bus, Miss Rich claimed.

At first I thought this was in Britain but of course it's Florida.

1. So she didn't fight the girls . SHE reported the problem to the driver and school officials and she

gets punish. DAMN our school are preparing our children how this country works. Whistle blowers ALWAYS get punished. Nice Lesson to learn.


Can I please be deported? Oh yeah I forgot I have the "Joy" of being a White girl born in this country.

First Texas punishes a girl for taking responsibility for her family at 17 NOW a girl gets punish for trying to protect someone.

2. Well, it just wouldn't be "school" if bullies were prevented from bullying.

Actually, quite sad, yet not surprising.

3. Unbelivable

Miss Rich told Fox: 'They were giving her food that they put in her mouth. I actually had to tell her to spit it out because she didn't understand.'

What if the girl had a food allergy and had died over it? The girl shouldn't have been bullied no matter what, but I can't believe the school is more afraid of the bullies than Miss Rich. I hope the bullied girls parents find out and sue the living shit out of the school.

4. Yup sounds like Florida

It literally is like the Wild West here, and no that is not hyperbole on my part.

15. as a person from the west

Wyoming and Idaho is a lot more civilized than this place. The wild west wasn't really that wild.

7. I try not to stereotype states but

Florida does seem to have an abundance of Fuckedupedness.

9. It is not a stereotype

it is real.

I live in Florida, and I can safely say justice and rule of law has little weight.

14. I can relate

my county will expel a kid for defending their self. My son's mythology teacher was threatened with losing her job for evangelizing the ancient Greek religion. I thought he was joking until I met the teacher and heard it from a couple of other adults.

8. Backward a$$ Flori-duh. AGAIN!

[Ilsa]

10. The girl with mental disabilities

probably has the right to be riding a separate bus to avoid this harassment.

Yeah, I can believe that the kid defending the disabled child got in trouble. It's the shitty way we do things in the good ol' USA.

11. They probably cut the funding and mainstreamed the girl. No protection.

[virgogal]

12. Mainstreaming is a good thing.

13. If true, fucking good for her. *applause*

Welcome to the spotlight, Lake County and Umatilla idiot douchbags. Time to learn.

Sometimes you need to shame them into it.

16. I doubt she is done bullying the bullies

Which I have no problem with.
