LOUISVILLE, Ky. — Jefferson County Public Schools officials are investigating a pepper spray incident aboard a middle school bus.

JCPS spokeswoman Lauren Roberts said 11 children were taken to hospitals. Four were taken to Kosair East and seven were taken to Kosair Children’s Hospital downtown. All 11 children were in fair condition at last check and are being treated for exposure to pepper spray. They were decontaminated and showered at the hospital.

At the very least, thank goodness this was something that happened at the middle or the back of the bus and not at the front; if the driver had been exposed, things would have turned out quite differently.

On top of the usual anti-bullying interventions and criminal charges, I hope that it is brought up that the perpetrator could have very easily caused a bus crash. A school bus is a fairly closed environment (not QUITE as bad as an airplane...), so spraying pepper spray will cause it to spread out pretty far.

I guess it's true...you can't fix stupid.
