The parents are also heard taking issue with the fact that the bus driver appears to be dressed in a schoolgirl’s uniform. The bus driver is heard saying that they “do this every week.” “And I don’t think there’s any problem,” they are heard saying to the parents before driving away.

Case of some dude with niche interests who only knows of "Lolita" from the Japanese cultural perspective, which is more focused on a specific fashion style and has no direct relation to the book.

Honestly, he wasn't doing anything wrong. From the picture in the article, all he would do is wear frilly dresses; probably thought the students would find it amusing. Like... Big deal? Not like he was diddling the kids or anything. People need to stop being so judgemental.

Exactly. This is just like when I got fired from my bus router after putting up a sign calling it “The Epstein Express” and decorating it with the work of famed cartoonist Benita Epstein. Can’t believe the parents were so uptight
