$700,000 raised for bus monitor

For at least several weeks we have been hearing about and seeing the bullying incident that occurred in upstate New York near Rochester. This occurred on a school bus where at least several students mercilessly taunted a 68-year-wiman who was riding the bus as a bus monitor. The video of this occurring captivated worldwide attention—especially the woman’s gentleness in the face of repeated and sadistic insults. A Web site was created to collect perhaps a few-thousand dollars for a vacation fund for the bus monitor. Now, it has surpassed $700,000. The school district has suspended some of the perpetrators for an entire year, the Kingtston Freeman reports.
