Speaker 2 (00:22):
Oh, Shirley, we got We got a lot going on
on these buses, these school buses with these kids. Some
of these kids just they just they just too heavy,

I can't let these kids get on this bus if
they too heavy. They yeah, this is because baby wait
baby weight. Oh yeah yeah, if I put the scale down.
(00:45):
When I put the scale down, here, if your baby
get on scale and your baby too heavy, your baby
gotta walk to school. You don't get on the bus. Okay,
big these big babies are wearing these axles out.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
I can't we can't.
Speaker 2 (00:58):
We just can't take it.
Speaker 3 (00:59):
I can't do.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
We can't do no more big babies on these buses.
I'm sorry, y'all got the walk.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
I'm witnessed er. Yeah, yeah, truly.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
These kids too big nowadays they too big. They don't
go outside and play. They sit around hide playing a
video game. We got to get out and walk. Baby.
Speaker 3 (01:20):
Wait, let's go cat though. Hello, Hello, I'm trying to
reach traina police.
Speaker 2 (01:27):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (01:27):
This is Trina, Trina, My name is Ernest. Ernest Murphy
down here at the bus barn with the from the
school district. Your son is devid am I right, yeah, okay, No,
he's in the fifth grade.
Speaker 3 (01:41):
I think, yeah, yeah, everything is fine. I think he's
on he rides bus ninety, bus ninety three. Does he
ride bus ninety three or you three number?
Speaker 4 (01:52):
Yeah, yeah he does.
Speaker 3 (01:54):
Okay, So now the school board has implemented a new
rule and we're having to call a lot of parents
and let them know about the new rule for us
as far as the buses are concerned. Now, from my understanding,
each child that gets on the bus has to weigh
less than one hundred and twenty five parents. That's what
(02:17):
the new rule that is implemented by waiting board.
Speaker 4 (02:21):
What did you say that again?
Speaker 3 (02:24):
I feel each child that gets on the bus has
to weigh less than one hundred and twenty five parents.
Speaker 5 (02:32):
I don't understand.
Speaker 4 (02:34):
I don't understand. So what's Okay, so what does that mean?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
So starting on Monday, Starting on Monday, what they're gonna
do is they're gonna the bus driver will have a
scale and he will wait the kids so they get
on the bus. I understand, man, the doctor, like I said,
I'm calling, I'm calling every parent that.
Speaker 5 (02:55):
They wait said, you're gonna you're gonna weigh my child
before he gets on the bus.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
That's that's what the new rute. That's what the new
rule is. If he's over one twenty five, then he
still either have to.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
Wat so you'll have to take him to school, which
I have a job.
Speaker 5 (03:11):
Okay, I have a job. I was I'm gonna take
my kidd in school, but doesn't I don't. That's what
the bus explores. That's what my tax dollars take for right.
But reasoning the rationale behind this.
Speaker 3 (03:23):
Okay, let me tell you what's going on. From what
they're saying, the weight of these children is wearing down
these transmissions on this bus. On these buses transmission the
transmission that cannot take all of that. So they are
limiting the weight of each child. So now how much.
Speaker 4 (03:41):
Does this discrimination?
Speaker 5 (03:43):
I think that's discrimination, But.
Speaker 3 (03:46):
That is your son over Is he over one hundred
and twenty five pounds?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Okay?
Speaker 3 (03:52):
He is? Okay, then you you're probably gonna have to
take your son to school or he's gonna have to work.
You probably need to walk to school if you are
hunting twenty five pounds?
Speaker 5 (04:06):
What the accident are you talking about?
Speaker 3 (04:11):
All I'm saying. All I'm saying is if your son
is overweight one hundred and twenty five, you know, maybe
the exercise are doing good? When like I said that,
the school and going to allow him on the bus.
Speaker 5 (04:26):
So I will not accept this. Who do I need
to call? Is there a manager? Is there a city
council member? I mean, this is seriously the lowstup discriminatory
practice I've ever heard of. It doesn't even make sense.
Speaker 3 (04:40):
You're talking about a child, I understand, but we're talking
about a child. They're way more than a grown person,
your son.
Speaker 5 (04:46):
I need to get through. What is your name, sir?
Tell me your name again.
Speaker 3 (04:50):
My name is Ernest. I'm down here at the bus
ball I would.
Speaker 5 (04:53):
Like to speak with a supervisor. Like now, you do
not get to speak to my up my child that way.
You can just think to any kid that way. You
should not be working at a school if that is
your attitude.
Speaker 3 (05:06):
I no, I don't work at the school. I work
at the busborn. I'm down here at the bus ball
and they gave me your they have a tender. They right,
because you're saying he's over one hundred and twenty fives.
Speaker 5 (05:15):
I am an absolute shocked.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
This is chi Okay, so do you have a fan child?
I mean, do you have scuba? I'm sorry, do you
have a big child? Listen?
Speaker 5 (05:28):
What my child looks like, how much he weighs is
none of your business. I'm gonna call the school. They
can do working with your company if this is the
way that you treat people and you talk about children
this way, and it doesn't matter here.
Speaker 3 (05:44):
I guess what they're doing is this is the way
of them approaching obesity, you know, right, Yeah, to school, whoever,
whoever over one hundred and twenty five. Elen them walk,
they might walk it all your son, listen, listen.
Speaker 5 (05:57):
That is the most ridiculous I've ever heard.

Okay, I have to work.
Speaker 5 (06:03):
My son is getting on that bus, and I'm going
to call the school boys and should not be working
with you, your mother bus company. I don't know what
I'm calling the city. I will call remember the city
to call that. You need to give me a supervisor's
name right now, right now?

what you feed him.
