A Louisiana school bus driver is no longer employed, after she was captured on video making racially insensitive remarks toward George Floyd to an 11-year-old student on her bus. The incident was sent to the school system last week by Rose Gabriel, who became aware of it after her son Rashad told that his white bus driver said something racist to him, according to 4WWL. Rashad informed his mom that the bus driver got on to him that morning for having his mask resting below his nose, which the student explained he was out of breath from running to catch the bus. Gabriel says the driver replied to her son with, “Since George Floyd, that’s what you all say, but I don’t see a knee on your neck.”

The mother almost could not believe what she heard. She said, “I’m like, ‘Are you sure she said that?’ He said, ‘Yeah, all the kids on the bus heard it.’ ”

Gabriel became emotional after hearing what took place.

“I just started crying,” Gabriel told the news station. “Because she….excuse me. Don’t make him feel inferior. He’s not inferior to nothing. He’s equal to any of those students on that bus.”

The mother added, “I get chills right now. It hurt me. It hurt me.”

Gabriel decided to drive her son to school that next Monday, and reported the incident, which was also captured on the bus surveillance camera.

After the driver confessed to the incident, School Superintendent Doris Voitier was informed of the situation. Then not long afterwards, the staff member was no longer employed.

Voiter told 4WWL that she couldn’t confirmed if the driver was fired or resigned, however, could confirm that “She no longer works for our school system.”

“I can’t defend that. I don’t condone that. What she said is offensive and inappropriate. It was racially insensitive. And we took appropriate action.”

Voitier say s he was aware that the situation needed to be handled delicately. Gabriel was pleased by the swift action taken by the school district. “It made me relieved that I know she’s no longer on the bus with my son or anybody else’s child,” she said.
