Art Robinson: The school bus is probably the biggest form of child abuse in the country.

First thing, what does a child learn while riding a bus, is that important education? To deny a child proper instruction is abusive when you instead reprogram the child for political gain.  My kid came home learning about the The Story of Stuff and how bad we are. Friends kid came home thinking he was going to drown when the sea rose 20 feet, while he was sleeping. There were a few sleepless nights for this child. It is abusive to scare the heck out of children no matter how you do it.

I don't see the controversy. Public schools are abusive. Just search in news.google for "school abuse" or "school neglect", or just "public school", and you'll find nothing but negative stories about students being in danger. Art is right! Vote out DeFraudzio and his risky, big government schemes.

Schoolbuses??? Seriously, Art? Nice going, nutjob. Are you SURE you majored in chemistry at Caltech? Sounds more like you majored in HYPERBOLE. Plus, this is downright offensive to those kids in America who were REAL victims of child abuse. It's a slap in the face to compare public schooling to THAT.

Art is a nice man but a true whack job and would never make it in DC.

Sure. Let's privatize the schools so Wackenbush or maybe Blackwater can handle the education of our kids. Yet another well-thought out idea from the master of the oblivious...

Sound bites designed to smear by that crook DeFazio's campaign. How....predictable. With all of the violence and bullying on many school buses these days, he's correct. He also believes, as I do, that education should be privatized. It's a black hole for tax dollars and we aren't getting any results. Let the private sector take care of it.

My daughter loves taking the bus and has been quite upset the few times I had to drive her to school.

I'm not making that up, you can ask her.

Where is this guy's brain,seriously, I want to know where it went.

the BIGGEST form of child abuse is PEDO's ... and they LURK everywhere not just on school buses.
