School bus driver fired for confederate flag on his pickup truck

[RamboLiberal]

MEDFORD, Ore. -- Local school bus driver Ken Webber is a self-described redneck. He proudly hangs a confederate flag from his pick-up truck, and he has tattoos to match.

Now that flag has cost him his job.

Twenty-eight-year-old Webber, who lives in Medford, was suspended last week. After his suspension he still refused to take it down and was fired.

I abhor that flag and him but IMHO on his private truck it is his business.

1. It's a racist statement... Good riddance to bad rubbish!

The rebel flag can be construed as hate speech.

2. Racists and kids don't mix

Knowing that the bus driver is a racist affects other things - what if a black kid is being bullied on the bus? Chances are Mr Dixie wouldn't do shit.

3. Edit: Now that I read that he worked for a private company I agree w/ this decision.

4. Was it a white flag of surrender?
