Why can't Johnny Read?
Here's why! If you haven't guessed, I'm a staunch advocate for the elimination of frivolous lawsuits. Here's an idea, let's accept responsibility for ourselves. Let's admit we goofed and pay for our mistakes. STOP the mindless finger-pointing and greedy searches for deep pockets.

Scenario: Teens fight on School Bus, jump out the emergency door, get hurt, then sue the school district!

Regardless of the qualifications of the driver, it's the kids who jumped out of the moving vehicle. They were fighting, they jumped! That should be the end of the story.

Now, $200,000 is going to a family, setting further precedent, and less money for educating children.

Oh wait, it is educating our children: "Never take responsibility! Jump first, sue later!"
