Urgh... quite frustrated right now. I don't have a driver's license yet, so I take the bus to and from school.

If there is one thing I won't miss, it's these jerks. Every day, it's the same acid spewing idiots spitting racist, homophobic, and anti-Semitic rhetoric nonstop. Going to the school staff is useless, these idiots don't care. I've done it once before, they seemed entertained.

I'm getting real sick of it real quick. Maybe I should involve the police as well as the staff... there have been comments that could be perceived as death threats.

Anyone have any idea of what I should do? It's starting to make me feel physically ill.

Well, I thought about saying go to the police, but we saw how well the FBI handled Parkland. Not trying to stir the pot, just stating facts that officials were notified and didn’t raise a finger. Unfortunately most people won’t take action until after an incident occurs. Seriously tho, get your license ASAP.

That’s not to say that you shouldn’t call the cops, I think you absolutely should. Just don’t get your hopes up.

Agreed that involving the police and staff is a viable next course of action. I am sorry that you have to deal with this :/

What makes this even worse is that the bus driver can undoubtedly hear everything, with how loud they are, and yet she doesn't do anything.

It also might not be a bad idea to fortify yourself personally. Learn self defense. Find out what sort of protective devices or weapons your school allows and protect yourself with whatever you can. People who are outwardly violent, hateful, and racist can be dangerous, especially when they start spouting off anti-Semitic slurs.

She’s probably terrified too tbh. Doesn’t excuse her for being a doormat about it tho. She’s an authority figure

Agree with the above. As a staff member, the bus driver does have a duty to report this kind of behavior. Her job involves making an environment safe for students.

Well that's absolute shit, I'm sorry ya have to deal with that.
I'm kind of bad with advice for this kinda thing but I'd say to raise hell to the staff for starters if it keeps going on. Reporting this kinda thing is pretty damn important.
Also learn how to shoulder throw. Judo is fun.

Definitely document everything. Start recording your bus rides if you can. Even if it’s only audio.

Do exercise caution with this - some states require a two-party consent for being recorded (audio or video) or you risk it not being viable evidence should something like this end up going to court. I am not familiar with MN's laws regarding this, unfortunately.

Well, I meant make sure the school staff is recording that these incidents actually happened. They may not be and if something were to happen, they could claim they didn't know. If you have get your parents/legal guardians to go into the school to make sure they know and are documenting these death threats, do so quickly. I hope this work out in your favor quickly. I swear, kids can be pricks these days.

K, thank you everyone for your suggestions. I plan on talking to my case manager (I have an IEP), as well as my assistant principal to see how this situation can be resolved.

Just as clarification: The death threats haven't been to me personally (no one knows I'm gay IRL), but they have been thrown around as generalities, mostly against gay people and people of the Jewish faith.

Most, if not all, school buses should have audio/video recording equipment on board, no? I just thought about that.

@DragonMaster21 I would urge you to have the school pull the audio/video from the bus if so.

Just stay safe, man. It's nice to see someone your age doing something about that kind of hate, though.
