Bus Driver Fired Over Facebook Post

A student told Johnny Cook, a middle school bus driver, that the student was refused lunch because they were 40 cents short. Cook wrote about it on Facebook and the story went viral. The superintendent said that they story wasn't said correctly. Cook was asked to remove the post but he refused to, so he was asked to leave his job. Cook has no regrets over the post. He feels that he has made a change and has pride in his post. Other schools have been reported to do the same with sending children back if they aren't able to afford there lunch.

Johnny Cook has done the right thing by keeping to his word and not removing his post. Food is important for every growing child, if they don't have enough money, the school should put it on a tab.
