Bus Driver Fired for Aiding Student


A Georgia bus driver, Johnny Cook, was recently fired for aiding a student on face book. The child was unable to purchase lunch due to being 40 cents over his account. When his bus driver heard this he was crushed and put a post up on face book that if any student ever was in a financial situation they could come to him and he would assist them. He also posted his number as well. The school demanded he take the post and apologized but he refused and is now unemployed because of it. He still stands firm in his position and is still doing all he can to help kids with sticky financial situations. That being said, do you think the school was wrong in firing him? Do you believe he was fired under good circumstances? Was Johnny Cook right in the actions that he took? Should he have been commended instead?
