A Wisconsin bus driver has been fired after telling a 12-year-old boy that he should have been aborted because his parents had a Mitt Romney campaign sign in their yard.

Durham School Services confirmed in a statement to Fox News that the 78-year-old driver “engaged in a political debate with students” and “made an inappropriate remark to a child.”
After a brief investigation, the driver was subsequently fired, the statement read.
“The driver’s remark was insensitive and inappropriate,” the statement read. “Durham has apologized to the family.”
The incident was first reported by the Freedom Eden website. The child’s mother was a guest on Fox News Radio affiliate WISN where she told her side of the story.
She said the trouble started two weeks ago when they put a Romney sign in their front yard.
“The only reason your parents are Romney fans is because they’re rich,” she allegedly told the child.
The boy’s mother – who was only identified as Debbie – told the radio station that several days ago some students in the back of the bus were chanting “Romney, Romney.”
“She made my son come up to the front (of the bus) and told him all Republicans are liars,” she said. “He didn’t want to take it. He said Obama is pro-abortion. She said, ‘Well, maybe your mom should have chosen abortion for you.’”
The mother said her son was crying and said he never wanted to get on the bus again.
“He goes to a Catholic school,” she said. “He was told that he should have been aborted.”
After she notified the bus company the driver was immediately removed from service until they completed the investigation. The company stated the driver had an incident-free record for more than 20 years.

78 year old shouldn't be driving kids in the first place. To old.
OK here is the situation, Obama knew about it and so did Biden, but they claim it was a video that caused this uproar from the bus driver. Biden said it was what the CIA told him it was a video, the same CIA that says Iran has no Nukes.

Well the Lib's have convince 12 year old kids they have to become a Lib or they will be beaten and become an out cast – one who gets an education, goes to work and pays taxes to support fools lie the bus driver….
What the heck is an apparently quasi-senile 78 year-old doing possessing a CDL and driving a school bus anyway?
Liberals tend to get run to the ground when debating with any conservative adult. They seem to be changing tactics now and going after their kids instead. What an awesome example they set for the rest of the country…pfft. God help any lib who pulls this crap with one of my children.
Who allowed a 78 year old to drive a bus? And not just a bus, a school bus!

Funny here in Western PA two married public school teachers with 10-15 years are RICH… But what NO one is saying is that if you raise my taxes because I'm RICH then I'll turn around and raise the price of my products that I sell to rich, middle class and the poor. I make up the loss and who loses money in the end?
78 years old should not be driving a school bus. What an idiot.
Wow. Aside from the rest of the story, I'd like to know why a 78 year old is still transporting students on a bus. I'm all for senior citizens remaining in the workforce, but not if they have others' lives in their hands. And this person sounds obviously senile.
Meanwhile, out neighbors to teh north, have just made it against the law for Catholic schools tot each that aboprtion is wrong….under their anti bullying laws.
What the hell is a 78 year old doing driving a bus with kids in it anyway. Are these people nuts?
It is amazing how low the liberals will stoop when their candidate has no substantive record to campaign on. Pathetic.
Damn, this will raise the unemployment numbers! Start printing more food stamps!

Good to hear this libturd was fired. Going after children, seems to be the DEMTURD way since they cant win debates with adults.
These lowlies obviously have started targeting children to get their shyt off, just as the AP recently mocked Romney at the expense of a young schoolgirl. What's so laughable is that these perverted characters claim to be 'for the people'. Right.
Why is a 78 year old man driving bus loads of children around to begin with? Does this 78 year old realize Democrats put him in the position of working at age 78? Retire. Let someone else have a chance at a job.
If this bus driver and his union were voting Republican, they wouldn't be working at age 78….
We have soon so many examples of this stupid behavior being exhibited, including by teachers targeting children in the classrooms. What is it in these people's make-up that makes these intolerant zealots think that they have the right to abuse and berate others for doing nothing more than exercising their rights of free speech/expression.
The arrogant intolerance of these liberal bobble-heads who believe it is OK to deny others their Constitutionally/Bill of Rights-mandated rights is unfathomable. There is absolutely no excuse or justification for this sort of behavio. Those who engage in it should be summarily dismissed from any position of responsibility/authority over others, particularly over children.
First; this bus driver is a gitless coward, verbally attacking a school kid like that. If the bus driver would have adted like that to to an adult, she would have been in danger of ending up wearing her @ss for a hat, woman or not.
As has been suggested, she should be made to apologize to the child, his parents, all of the children on the bus and their parents, and to the school she represented and embarrassed. However, a person that arrogant and unable to control one's temper (and the mouth connected to it) with children, is potentially dangerous. If something this minor sent her into such a tirade, there looms the possibility of further violent verbal or even physical assaults. She should be permanently removed from any contact with children.
They deserve to be fired I don't care if you are democrat republican independent of the stupid tea party that's just wrong!!!
The bus driver is the one who should have been aborted.

The Bus driver only got just desserts freedom of choice, freedom of speech belongs to all even, children if the bus driver is stiil able to walk that shows what remarkable restraint the parents have! I'm not sure I would.
Th
silly man, should know when to keep to himself, now he has lost a good job, good luck finding another one, gonna be hard in Wi.
I don't care what your political preference is. I am a liberal and this is B.S. Just like the ceo of the Ohio coal mine that froced all his employees to attend a republican rally. I don't go for intimadation of any kind by anybody. In both cases I would have been arrested for beating the crap out of both. I am know as an easy going person, but I go off when I see this happening. You try to do this to me or any of my friends and I'll knock your teeth out. I turned down a $27 an hour cause the owner told me that I had to put his patries bumper sticker on my truck. I told him to shove his company and his job. As time went by I started my own business and I do put a serious hurt on his company. He loses, and I made a heack of a lot more than they had offered. I have never and will never put any stickers on any vehicles I own. Job or not. I am an electrical contractor. Loving life. There is another company here in Ohio where the employees were told if they did not vote for romney they would be fired. the boss told them they all had to vote absentee and he would watch them cast their vote. I'm sorry but he would have been in the E.R. a few minutes later. Nothing but total B.S. I will get extremely VIOLENT in cases like this.
What is going on in America and why are people allowing it to happen.This is the United States of America not Communist Russia!!!!
Terrible behavior all around, this morning a Fox newsperson reads a comment over the air that their local city workers "Need to be riding the little yellow buses" because they were stupid. And we wonder why there is so much bullying
