Ummm....

It sounds as if the school has several independent educational facilities operating within it, and that they do not share their bus routes (which does seem stupid to me). The kids weren't kicked off for "speaking English" - they were kicked off because the bus that they were catching was reserved for a different academy within the school.

Yes - but not the point.

1) The kids rode the bus all year.
2) The bus driver told them the reason was because they were speaking English, and the other kids couldn't understand what they were saying
3) The school cooperated with the driver by calling the mother and telling her she had to come pick up her kids.
4) The school admitted they made a mistake.
5) Only AFTER the media attention did the school find out the kids were out of the schools bus route - AFTER they had already kicked them off.

Fox has a news video - it shows the schools letter, and it clearly states AFTER the incident the school found...ect.
