I Was Dragged By This Crazy Bus Driver!

Utah mom upset her son was nearly killed when a bus driver dragged him 150 feet.

A mom from Salt Lake City was infuriated by the actions of a school bus driver. Her son who is biracial was exiting the bus and the door suddenly closes.

His bookbag was caught in the door and he was dragged about 100 feet by the moving bus. He didn't sustained injuries but he and many of his his fellow riders complained to the school and it earned this bus driver some unwanted attention from the junk food media.



Brenda Mayes' civil rights lawsuit says her son was getting off the school bus in early February when the driver, John Naisbitt, closed the doors, trapping the boy's backpack inside as he dangled outside.

Naisbitt, 78, then drove approximately 150 to 175 feet before opening the doors and letting the boy go, the lawsuit says.

Naisbitt -- who is no longer employed by the district, per a spokeswoman -- had previously displayed "racial animus and discriminatory conduct" toward other students of mixed race, according to the lawsuit, which cites at least two prior incidents involving other students dating back to September 2017.

Bus driver thinks this is a game.

The lawsuit also names the Davis School District and its transportation director, Dave Roberts, who Mayes said ignored her concerns. The suit requests that disciplinary action be taken against Naisbitt and that criminal charges be filed.

When confronted at his home in Hooper, Utah, Naisbitt said he was "not at all" racist.

"No," he said. "Look at my dog. He's as black as could be."

Uh, okay!

This is what we have to deal with in our communities.
