OneOfMany and Wolf: Again, the law allows private bus operators to segregate their buses. So to compare it to religious child sacrifice is absurd. The only issue here is the franchise agreement. And considering the law allows segregation by private entities, a franchise by a government entity cannot abrogate a parties religious freedom that is protected by law — and segregation is so protected by law. (See, for example, Monsey Bus.) Additionally, the bus company is not getting paid by the government to run this bus. The franchise is simply an allowance to operate the bus route on the public roads.
