«You’re not in Mexico now!», the driver yelled, according to the video shared by Reyes Ramírez himself.

Hispanic Student Expelled from Bus for Speaking Spanish

Why it matters: The incident involves a minor who relied on school transportation to get to school and ended up being left behind during the ride.

The driver not only allegedly forced the student to get off but also threatened to hit Reyes Ramírez if he tried to get back on the bus.

According to the complaint, the driver threatened to hit Reyes Ramírez if the student tried to return to the vehicle.

The incident occurred while the minor was on his way to school in Chicago, Illinois, using the school transportation service.

Reyes Ramírez’s family later reported the incident and began seeking answers about the driver’s alleged behavior.

His relatives went to Sunrise Transportation, the company responsible for school transportation, to try to clarify the circumstances surrounding the incident.

However, the family claims that they are still facing difficulties in finding out what happened inside the vehicle.

Bus Cameras Were Not Working During the Incident

@reyes.ramrez55 This happened to me on Tuesday, August 18, with the bus driver, who only because I was speaking Spanish, began to insult me and kicked me off the bus, leaving me halfway and when I got off the bus, he threatened to hit me, saying that whether I got on or stayed off, he would leave me behind, and I had to call my school so they could pick me up.. this has left me very traumatized that a bus driver would behave this way, the bus company is called Sunrise Transportation, the school has been calling but they don’t answer, and my family called but they only said that the cameras weren’t working and they couldn’t do anything #racism#bus#unitedstates #discrimination #hispanic ♬ original sound – Reyes Ramírez

The fact: According to the shared account, Sunrise Transportation allegedly reported that the cameras installed inside the bus were not working when the incident occurred.

This situation would prevent clarifying exactly what happened during the ride and verifying through the recordings the entire exchange between the driver and the student.

The video shared by Reyes Ramírez became a central piece of the account presented about the episode.

The recording captures part of the incident and the phrase attributed to the driver about Mexico after becoming upset because the student was speaking Spanish.

The driver also allegedly tried to defend himself against the accusations related to his comments during the incident.

According to the shared account, he claimed that he couldn’t be racist because he had «a quarter black blood».

The explanation attributed to the driver added to the controversy generated by the treatment denounced by Reyes Ramírez and his family.

What’s next: The family maintains its complaint and continues seeking answers from Sunrise Transportation about what happened during the school ride.

The lack of bus camera footage appears as one of the main obstacles in reconstructing the episode completely.

The case has also sparked outrage over the expressions attributed to the driver and for leaving the student off the bus during his school ride.

The controversy began specifically because of the use of Spanish, according to the version shared by Reyes Ramírez about what happened inside the vehicle.

The student claims that the driver became upset when he heard him speaking Spanish before ordering him to get off the bus.

The phrase «You’re not in Mexico now!» remained as one of the central moments of the video shared by the minor.

This is added to the accusation that the driver threatened to hit him if he tried to get back on the bus.

The family is now seeking explanations from the company responsible for transportation, while the lack of internal images makes it difficult to determine exactly what happened.

The episode maintains attention on the treatment received by Reyes Ramírez during a ride that was supposed to take him to his school in Chicago.

For now, the family’s complaint and the video shared by the student constitute the elements provided to know what happened.
