Brickbat: It Might Be Safer To Walk
Former Littleton, Colorado, school bus aide Kiarra Jones pleaded guilty to multiple charges after video and bus camera footage showed her assaulting three nonverbal students with autism while she worked on their bus. Parents of the students said their injuries included bruises, scratches, a black eye, and a broken bone. Jones pleaded guilty to 10 felony counts of third-degree assault of an at-risk person and two misdemeanor child-abuse counts. She will be sentenced in March.

WHO DID THIS ILLUSTRATION?
Not enough diversity for you?
Their names are at the bottom right of the illustration; find someone not educated in a public school to read it to you
Heads will roll!
AI was involved, according to the credits. I have no idea what that person in the bus door is doing. Or... wait, what door? And is the kid behind her in the driver's seat? I know it's a throwaway illustration for a brickbat, but come on, do people not take enough pride in their work to look at the illustration the AI spat out before publishing it?
showed her assaulting three nonverbal students with autism
It was bad enough she bruised them and broke a kid's bone, but to assault them with autism is unforgivable. Has she no shame?
