A school bus driver in Vaughan, Ont., who was seen driving a vehicle with a sign in the window that read “Lolita’s Line” while dressed in what appears to be a schoolgirl’s uniform will no longer provide transportation to and from the school, the York Catholic District School Board (YCDSB) confirms.
Japanese Lolita fashion is pretty distanced from from Nabokov’s original conception. If this person is just dressing in that fashion, and put the sign in reference to that, I could almost understand it, and concede there might not have been anything predatory in nature intended.
But if you’re a Westerner, you should be pretty damn aware of how people might interpret it on a bus meant to transport children. Like how dumb can you be?
Dumb enough to fire the dude and never educate the masses.
