Read our privacy policy A Colorado bus driver has been let go after video footage emerged of him slapping a little girl who refused to wear a mask. Bertram Jaquez drove a bus full of kids in Fremont County, where a 10-year old girl rejected requests to put a mask on., prompting an argument with other children on the bus. According to the child, the driver put his hand on her face to put the mask back on correctly and then she said he hit her for not complying with rules. “You can show your faces these last few weeks of school,” Governor Jared Polis said at a news conference in light of the CDC suggesting that people who have been fully vaccinated can opt to not wear face coverings inside.
