PEOPLE IN NEED OF A CLUE: This bus driver felt threatened and responded, well, inappropriately:

A Prince George’s County school bus driver who ”felt threatened” by a disabled mother and her 8-pound puppy left a busload of special-needs children at a police station twice last week while he sought a restraining order against the woman.
Bus driver Lawrence Ware complained that Linda Stiggers Yancy of Riverdale Park stepped onto the special-needs bus to inquire about an incident in which her 14-year-old son, Gregory, had been bullied by another student on the bus.
Mrs. Yancy, who has spinal problems and walks with the assistance of a cane, was holding her papillon puppy, Joey, in her arms.

The bus driver’s explanation: ”I felt threatened.”
That has the ring of one of those P.C. excuses: ”I felt uncomfortable,” or ”I felt diminished and unappreciated,” etc., etc. It’s enough to make me wish for a return to an era when people were a bit less concerned with how they ”felt.”
Or at least to an era when a man would have been embarrassed to say he felt threatened by a disabled woman with an eight-pound dog. [InstaPundit]
