Issue: Issaquah bus driver appeals firing for “flipping off” President Bush /Seattle PI

More Info: According to Issaquah School District officials, the incident happened when a district school bus stopped for the president’s motorcade while returning from a field trip in Seattle. As the president waved to the school children from his limousine, the bus driver made an obscene gesture, said Sara Niegowski, a spokeswoman for the district. Bush was in Seattle attending a fundraiser for Congressman Dave Reichert, who was riding in the same limousine.

Question: Was the punishment meted out by the school district appropriate?
