STA Treating Incident As Learning Opportunity

Spokane Transit is issuing an apology for an incident in which three young people were kicked off a bus by a driver for discussing bisexuality.

The good news is that the incident is being used as a learning opportunity; the Odyssey Youth Center of Spokane has been asked to work with STA to include training for drivers on being sensitive to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender issues.

Here's the story.
