This is an ABSOLUTE OUTRAGE!!!

We have public radio that is FREE!!! Our tax dollars are paying for this C R A P???

It's bad enough we have the F-CAT which is a total waste of time!!!

This makes me want to V O M I T!!!

Parents, get with the program and put a stop to this!!!

Personally, I can't WAIT for our kids to hear Howard Stern piped in on the bus.

Of course, that's only until Don Imus gets his show back...

Entertainment replaces discipline and good manners. That's how kids got this way in the first place. Are movies going to be shown next?

Apparently nobody on the school board can read. Just yesterday I read tons of complaints about this idea and not one positive remark. We don't want junk music and advertisements blared at our kids. Time for new leadership in Seminole. Not all parents approve of rock music and really don't appreciate it getting jammed down our kids throats.

This program is 20 years too late -- private busses had radios back then. Besides, it's a waste because most kids already have their own personal music device of choice at their disposal for their ride to the programming facility (school).

Bologna: All these kids have their own players and headphones listening to some God awful stuff. A waste of taxpayer dough considering how cheap the walk mans and ipod are. Admit it, you just want radios and/or loud speakers in these buses to cram the democratic Clinton poop into their heads constantly. Lousy turds.

Great. I'll bet no one on the school board ever passed the FAT CAT test either. I wonder if they can write? Or do they have to verbally vote on everything? What a bunch of nimrods. They couldn't get a job selling used cars.

Shame on the Seminole School Board. Selling out the captive audience of school children. Unbelievable!

Sounds like a violation of their rights to me! What won't they do for a buck. You're suppose to be protecting our children not selling them out.

trust me - your school board ALWAYS knows best! that is why they continue to pay large payouts on lawsuits.... and pay large $$$ on transportation costs (bus/fuel) to achieve their idea of social engineering...

Any parents who didn't already give their kids ipods better do it now. They may be listening to violent rap music, but at least it won't be ads telling them they're nobody if they don't get their 'rents to spend $599 on some freakin' shoes.

But I don't think we pay for this; I think the company that broadcasts the junk sells ads to pay for it, and gives the School Board a kickback, oops I mean a payment for the right to fill kids heads with ads.

Who gets to decide what ads? Suppose the ads are for guns or Viagra or condoms? Will that be ok with the School Board?
