South Carolina Will Place Ads Inside School Buses
South Carolina will begin selling ad space inside their public school buses-11-inch strips above the windows are now for sale, and "Interested school districts get about $2,100 per month per bus."
The South Carolina Board of Education approved the plan last month, and appears to be moving forward with it.
"I never thought [advertising inside school buses] was a good idea to start with," said Donald Tudor, South Carolina's DOE School Transportation Director, "but when you run a state program and districts request this be set in motion, you do it so they can make a choice. Ultimately, I couldn't think of a good reason why they shouldn't have the option."
For its part, SAC promises the ads will be age-appropriate, promote a healthy and productive life, and are directly approved by district appointed personnel. Ads sold thus far are from local businesses.

And since when does that make it OK? "Age appropriate" "promote a productive life" usually means that it sucks. And look who it's approved by - not the students. Big motherfucking suprise. Do we get a say in anything that happens to us? Nope.
"Free market" is just a nice unsuspecting way to say "Capitalism".
So yes, beating kids up for nothing and advertising what good stuff Coca-Cola does to your body will make you healthy and productive.
Guaranteed!
that is so stupid. the system is so commercialized.
