Bush Crash Anniversary

Today marks the one year anniversary of a school bus crash that took the lives of four students. As I noted in an article on this topic for National Review OnLine last year: "Both the Boston Globe and the Boston Herald reported on May 16th that bus driver Hin Chi Kan had told a parent chaperone shortly before the bus crashed in Sussex, New Brunswick, that he spoke 'only a little English' and that he might need the parent to translate for him."

One year later, the road is still a terrible place to try to learn English.
