An Ohio bus driver who went viral for a foul-mouthed tirade at students has become the inspiration for a T-shirt — as well as a nearly $60,000 fundraiser trying to help her retire.
Jackie Miller said her rant — in which she threatened to “start kicking some f–kin’ serious ass” because she was “done with the s–t” — followed at least two years of needling by a core group of kids on her Amherst route.
Miller was interviewed at a local clothing store called Mistakes on the Lakes, that had created a T-shirt about the episode, donating $5 from all sales of the $25 shirt to the now-jobless driver.The shirt sales will add to an even bigger fundraiser that has already raised more than $59,000 online, with more than 2,500 people donating to help her retire and go on vacation.“Like, we’ve all had bad days, we’ve all gone through hardships and I think our hearts just kind of bled for her.
Organizer Jeff Grob decried how school bus drivers are “underpaid and under-appreciated” and how “kids these days are out of control and no one is allowed to reprimand them in fear of losing their job.”“I’m on her side and if it was my kids, make em walk!” Despite the push to help her retire, Miller said that she hopes to continue driving buses — though likely just for adults.“There’s just no words to say how grateful that I am for the people who have supported me. It restores your faith in humanity. It makes you think that not all people are bad, that there’s really good people in the world.”
