School Bus Driver Tells 11 Year Old She’s Gay And Going To Burn In Hell (Video)

A Missouri school bus driver offered a ten-minute long unsolicited biblical admonishment to a young Kansas City student.

Maurissa Rushing is a fifth grade student at a charter school in Kansas City, Missouri. Last week, as her school bus pulled up to Pathway Academy, her bus driver let all the students off, except Maurissa and her best friend. 

Rushing says for about ten minutes the driver lectured the two, and told her she was gay and would burn in hell because of it. 

“She was talking really bad to me and I didn’t like that,” Maurissa, crying, with tears running down her cheeks, told local Fox affiliate WDAF. “She’s just been the most horrible bus driver I’ve ever had.”

As Maurissa explains, the bus driver “took us to the back of the bus. We sat down.”

“She said that we are gonna burn in hell real bad,” the 11-year old says. “I didn’t expect it to happen.”

WDAF reports Maurissa “loves to play a game with her best friend on the bus. They chase each other’s fingers up and down her arm. Maurissa said her bus driver told her she was touching her best friend too much, and she was gay for it.”

“She hurt my feelings very bad,” she added.

The school bus is operated by First Student, which says they immediately fired the unnamed driver. 

But Maurissa’s mother is angered that the charter school’s administrators never bothered to call her to tell her what happened.

“I feel like she was all day by herself, dealing with it. How do you deal with that at 11?,” Patricia Rushing wants to know. “She’s been through so much, she just did not deserve to be put in this situation. It’s not fair,” Rushing added.

WDAF reports that “Pathway Academy says it isn’t their responsibility to notify parents of incidents on the bus, that it is First Student’s job to reach out. First Student says the driver was fired the second they found and is reviewing why parents weren’t called.”
