    Romans 8:28
    28 And we know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

    God took a terrible thing, and He turned it into a terrific Blessing for Karen Klein.

    There was a time when kids actually grew up respecting those in authority. Not anymore. Because of the kind of society we live in, kids can run a muck with no consequences because their stupid ‘feelings’ might be hurt if their parents or school dare to correct them.

    I am glad to see Karen Klein receiving such outpouring of blessings through donations and letters of comfort – even from school children. No one should have to endure such treatment from these heartless little beasts.

    Doubtful the kids behave this way in front of their parents, but who knows? The one thing for certain is these kids know they can treat monitors (such as Karen), bus drivers, teachers and other students this way without any consequences thanks to political correctness. Perhaps the video going viral will make them think twice in the future – and I hope the parents see just what h they raised!

    These kids are little sociopaths. They will grow up to be serial killers, or maybe anchors on MSNBC.

    It also says in the Bible : ” Train up a child in the way he should go..” Proverbs 22:6. But, you can lead a horse to water…My mother used to give us a good smack and it didn’t do us any harm. The outpouring of support just proves how compassionate most Americans are.

    The world has its share of bigotry, but what seems to get overlooked is the rejection of people who are elderly and overweight. A friend once said, ” some thin people take their problems out on others, but fat people when they hurt,wear their hurt.”

    I have watched this story unfold online since the beginning but avoided any of the main stream media coverage about it up to now.

    The primary interest the MSM has in a story like this is the attention it will bring them by covering it. This poor woman is going to paraded around the circuit and every MSM channel will get their piece of her story by revisiting and digging into her humiliation over and over.

    But what an amazing story this is! And the untold story here is all about how the medium of common people (aka the interweb tubes) enables regular folks to ignite the compassion of the real 99 percent. It’s about how normal people will naturally reach out to lift up the hands which hang down, and how it will happen without the MSM or some reality tv show telling us how we should feel about it first. I guess the MSM can’t hardly report that the real story is about how this happened without them, and how irrelevant they are to the things that really touch people’s hearts.

    Thank goodness for whatever MSM notoriety will do to add to the blessings going to Karen Klein. But the credit for this goes to one good samaritan who was so profoundly affected that he decided he must find a way to make a difference in the life of a stranger who was hurting. And that in doing so he made an outlet for all of us who were deeply touched by another’s pain to reach out to her as well.

    God bless Max S. God bless Karen Klein. God bless all who were touched by her story and reached out to express their compassion and support for Karen. And God preserve the interweb tubes and the freedom of expression that made this story possible.

    My sister had to quit her job as a school bus driver in Tenn. less than a month ago, due to similar circumstances. She told me it was unbearable, the kids were rude & disrespectful, also it was dangerously distractive because she had to keep taking her eyes off the road to watch them in the mirror. The last straw for her is when she had to pull over the bus to reprimand some of the kids. Well,one of the kids parent went to the school office to report that she had singeled them out because they were black. How outrageous! This is why I believe so many of America’s youth are headed on a path of destruction; we have parents that make excuses for their childrens bad behaviour. Needles to say, she quit, she said it wasn’t worth it. Thank God I have two sons that are respectful & courteous, not that I’m bragging, but I will.

    If only Andy Robinson had shown up on that video and said, “Hi, kiddies, I’m your new school bus monitor and we’re going to take a little ride to the airport.”

    The last time I bullied someone I was 4 or 5 years old. My best friend started calling a very sensitive girl (an easy target) named Beth a crybaby. We kept taunting her with our song of “crybaby Beth” until she ran home sobbing. We laughed loudly as she ran away. I was suddenly grabbed by the hand and dragged to the back yard by my dad. He had been in the carport and saw the incident. Without saying a word, he tore my butt up. I knew what I did was wrong. I couldn’t defend myself and just say I was following my friend’s lead. I knew I deserved my punishment. He then took me back to the carport. My mom came out when she heard my hysterical crying. She wanted to know what was wrong and comfort me. I wanted to go inside, but my dad told me to go back to the front yard. He wouldn’t let my mom console me. He angrily told her what I did. I never forgot that incident. I’m not going to say I’ve been a saint. I’m ashamed to admit I haven’t always stuck up for other people who needed help. I later became a fat kid and realized I was now the “easy target.” But I wouldn’t join in when people started taunted others. I’d sometimes distract the instigator or other people in the group by moving the conservation onto another topic whenever I was courageous enough to act as an individual.

    I have to admit I’m impressed with how patient Karen Klein is with the 7th graders. I was only able to endure teaching 7th graders for one year. I couldn’t handle the constant disrespect from the students and their parents. When I was in school, you’d be disciplined at school and at home for such rude behavior. When I was teaching, the parents would accuse me of picking on their children. Times certainly have changed. It’s too bad it’s not for the better.

    Love how the MSM is telling her what she should do with the money.
