Congratulations to the SC Board of Education
They did the right thing in banning ads on school busses. I think advertising in schools is one of the worst things to happen in the modern education system here in the United States. You have corporations like Channel One and Bus Radio who shouldn’t even be in existence as far as I’m concerned.
But some parents and lawmakers, including Sen. Greg Ryberg, R-Aiken, objected to the idea. He introduced a bill during this year’s legislative session to ban school bus ads, but it didn’t pass. He applauded the board’s action.
“This action prevents for-profit companies from forcing children to hear or view advertising harmful to them or objectionable to their parents, and I join thousands of parents in thanking them,” Sen. Ryberg said in a written news release after the vote.
The fact that a Republican State Senator sought to stop ads on school buses shows that whether we are liberal or conservative—Republican or Democrat—-we can find common ground a a ton of issues.
