COACHELLA, Calif. (KESQ) – A Coachella Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) bus driver is facing backlash after posting a video to social media mocking a student with special needs.
Viewers sent the now deleted Tik Tok video to News Channel 3.
In it, the bus driver is commenting on a student who had a bathroom accident while on the bus saying, “how dare you get on my bus in a poopy diaper” and “do better next time kid.”
Parents said the student is part of the district’s special education program and that the post violated the student’s privacy and dignity.
“There should be no bus driver treating or making TikTok videos about children in special needs who have accidents. They are in special needs for a reason and they need us,” one concerned viewer said.
CVUSD shared this statement:
