A political argument with a 12 year old boy costs an 81 year old Wisconsin bus driver her job. The boy says the fight with the driver crossed the line. FOX's Ashley Sears explains what happened. It's a bus ride 12 year old Joey Hartlaub is trying to forget. An argument with his bus driver he says went over the edge. The 7th grader and his friend were chanting "Romney, Romney" from the back of the bus. It's what she allegedly said next that keeps replaying in his head. Hartlaub claims he said Obama was pro-abortion and the bus driver said "well, maybe your mother should have chose an abortion for you". His mom says the political argument actually goes back weeks. That's when the bus driver apparently started harassing the 7th grader about a Romney/Ryan sign in his family's front yard. Saying it was "verbal abuse", she took it straight to Durham School Services, the company that operates the buses. Durham School Services kept her away from all students. In a statement, they told us "Durham immediately removed the driver from service pending an investigation which resulted in the termination of the driver. Prior to this incident, the driver had an incident-free record while serving the community as a Durham school bus driver for over 20 years. Notwithstanding, the driver's remark was insensitive and inappropriate." A move that's helping the 12 year old get back on the bus. The little boy believes he's not the only victim. This isn't the first time the bus driver has done something like this.

Solar panels that obscure school might be moved
May 24, 2013 13:13 GMT
ROGERSVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- A wall of solar panels in front of a Surgoinsville school might be moved out back.
The panels are part of an ambitious project under which solar collection panels have been installed at 20 Hawkins County school facilities to cut utility costs and sell back power to TVA.
But the Kingsport Times-News (http://bit.ly/18burcf ) reported the wall of panels at Surgoinsville Middle School has some people worried about school security and others upset at what they see as an eyesore.
The panels are 7 feet high and stretch the length of a football field. They obscure viewing the school.
At a school board work session Thursday, board members talked about moving the array. It can't be voted on until the regular board meeting on June 4.
