- And finally, Castille v. St. Martin Parish School Board this week brings us the inspiring story of Mr. Gerald Castile, who since 1977 has been faithfully transporting Louisiana school children without complaint. Well, maybe the occasional complaint… Our favorites include (but are hardly limited to) initially deeming a particular route undesirable until “it changed over time and became more desirable as the route became less populated.” Suppose that does indeed cut down on that whole pick up/drop off hassle. And then there was the route, “populated with children from families that were known to have little or no respect for the bus operators.” Known? Was this knowledge passed down through generations of bus operators? How exactly does a family become bus operator disrespecters?
