This is horrible. I can't believe that a girl got jumped on the school bus for being
Filipino. And it's all well and good that they're finding the students who jumped her, but what I want to know is: What are they doing about the bus driver? The adult who was there didn't lift a finger to stop the students from beating this girl up because of her race, and then when the girl left the bus, had the nerve to tell her to go to a priest. As if she'd done something wrong by being born into her ethnicity. My god. That woman's the one they need to be pressing charges on, more than the other students, anyway. It's so sad that even in 2007, there are still hate crimes being committed.
