FIRST ON 5: Kids kicked off school bus for speaking english

ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) - A school bus driver let Rachel Armstrong's three children board the bus Monday morning, but he warned them that he wouldn't give them a ride home that afternoon, nor could they ever ride his route again.

The problem: Armstrong's 10-year-old twin girls and 8-year-old son speak English. According to their mother, the driver told them the route had been designated for non-English speakers only.

This takes the cake.
School admits mistake, but kids will still not be able to ride bus now because technically they live out of the busses route - although they have been riding it all year.
