【新唐人2011年11月18日讯】甘肃正宁县榆林子镇幼儿园校车严重超载6倍，发生重大车祸造成至少21人遇难，其中包括19名幼儿。这一惨祸引发民众痛心悲愤，网民们纷纷追责中共政府每年公款吃喝、旅游、公车消费近万亿，投入教育经费却严重不足，尤其在贫困地区，致使“黑校车”事故频频发生。
11月16号早上，榆林子“小博士幼儿园”接送学生的小面包车，与一辆大翻斗运煤货车迎面相撞。出事校车仅限载9人，为了空出空间来，限定的9个座位被私自拆卸下来，变成无座，当天实际乘载了64人。
死者包括19名幼儿、1名老师和司机，其余43名幼儿轻重伤。事故发生在下沟砖厂门前，砖厂10多名工人当即救人。砖厂的工人向本台记者描述了当时的惨状。
砖厂工人：“我们是参加救援的，这些孩子都是我们救出来，见车就挡，拉去县医院。最大5、6岁，最小可能3、4岁，哭着有些叫爷爷有些叫奶奶，有些叫爸爸有些叫妈妈，现场确实惨的很，都吓懵了，一个孩子特别严重，脑袋上皮被揭掉了，大部分都流血，有些是皮肤流血，鼻孔流量，耳朵流血，身上都是血。”
美国中学教师黄老师表示，私自改装校车，在美国是不可能发生的。
黄老师：“因为美国对法律规定人一定要守法，所以如果规定只能载9个人，他不可能让这么多小孩子上去。如果美国发生这种事情的话，学区会被告的很严重，家长一定会严重告它，事情会闹得很大。在美国因为有人权，所以，也不可能让这个事情发生。”
2006年在美国印第安纳首府，一辆素以彪悍著称的“悍马”撞上了停在路边的无人校车。结果悍马半个车体粉碎，校车安然无恙。网贴质问：“中国的校车，汗颜吗？”
黄老师：“因为美国法律要求，他们校车各方面一定是会定期检查、维护。在美国这边，对小孩子的安全是很重视，什么事情都是有严格规定的，你要申请校车执照。比方说，美国接送小孩的巴士如果停在路边闪红灯的话，所有附近经过的车子都要停下来，因为怕小孩子过马路的时候被撞到。”
在中国农村，步行上学太远，不少儿童不是因为交通不便或费用过高而辍学，就是别无选择搭乘“黑校车”。教育部的数据显示，各类中小学校园安全事故中，有7成发生在农村。
中国每年有2万多名中小学生因交通事故伤残死亡。去年7月1号，中国首部强制性国家标准《专用小学生校车安全技术条件》正式实施。但是，许多贫困地区学校经费不足，买不起校车。
甘肃“黑校车”惨祸引发网民悲愤与问责政府，有些网友说：“能拥有1万亿美国国债，三千亿的公车消费，买不起校车？” “请问教育部和交通部是如何考虑孩子的安全问题，难道中国的法律就是玩的？”
原《中国民营》杂志记者刘逸明针对甘肃“黑校车”指出，中共一党专制是有法不依、教育腐败的根源。
刘逸明：“显然不仅仅是事故，它更是一场人祸，人为的因素造成的，至于该问责的肯定是政府。中共当局他们是不舍得花钱做正经事的，但是在自己身上花钱那是非常的慷慨，所以中国现在是一种国富民穷的景象。”
今年中共政府财政收入将突破10万亿，但是，当局提出教育经费占GDP4%的目标已有18年，却一直没能实现。贫困地区的简陋教育设施和失学儿童，仅靠有限的民间资助。
《天涯观察》痛斥中共把中华民族变成不断伤害自己孩子的民族。《每日经济新闻》的评论质问：还要多少孩子的生命才能换来校车安全？

“Illegal Bus” Kills 19 Children
Seriously overloaded six-fold, a kindergarten school bus
of Yulinzi Town in Zhengning county, Gansu province, was involved in an accident, killing 21 people.
The dead include 19 children.
The disaster caused painful grief among civilians.
Netizens criticized Chinese Communist Party (CCP)
authorities of squandering public funds.
Nearly RMB 1 trillion is spent each year on officials’ meals
and recreation, traveling and car purchases.
This contributed to a serious shortage of education funding,
especially in China’s poor rural areas.
Thus leading to the frequent occurrence of accidents
involving illegal school buses.
On the morning of November 16, a small school bus
of Little Doctor Kindergarten in Yulinzi Town
collided head-on with a large coal dump truck.
With a loading limit of only nine persons,
the school bus removed seats privately for more space.
That day, the school bus actually carried 64 persons.
The dead include 19 children, a teacher and a driver,
with the remaining 43 children injured.
The accident took place in front of a local brick factory.
Over a dozen workers rushed to the immediate rescue.
One worker described to NTDTV the tragic story.
Brick factory worker: “We participated in the rescue.
Among the children we saved, the eldest was five or six years old, the youngest, three or four.
Some cried, calling for their grandmas, grandpas,
some called for their daddies or mummies.
The scene was really miserable,
everybody was scared stiff.
One child was in a particularly critical state, a piece of skin
was ripped off from the top of his head.
Most kids were bleeding. Blood was coming from their
bodies, noses, ears. There was blood all over them.”
US secondary school teacher Huang, said that in the US,
a private modification of a school bus is impossible.
Teacher Huang: “The US law stipulates that citizens
should abide by the law.
So if the loading limit is only nine persons,
the driver won’t let so many children get on the school bus.
If the accident happened in the US, the school would be
charged very heavily. Parents would sue the school.
And the matter would be made big.
Human rights are protected in the US, so it won’t be possible to have such a thing here.”
In Indiana in 2006, a Hummer SUV crashed into a parked
empty school bus on the roadside.
The result was half of the Hummer was crushed,
while the school bus was safe and sound.
A netizen asked: “Isn’t China ashamed?"
Teacher Huang: “The US law requires school buses
to do regular checks and maintenances.
Children’s safety is stressed very much in the US.
Everything has strict requirements,
a school bus license should be applied for.
If a school bus is parked on the roadside, flashing the red light,
the passing by cars should stop for the kids crossing the road.”
In rural China, the distance to the school is very far.
Inconvenient transportation or high transport costs result
in children dropping out of school, and others having no choice but to ride on the “illegal school bus."
CCP’s Ministry of Education data show that of the total primary
and middle school incidents, 70% took place in the rural areas.
In China, traffic accidents each year cause over 20,000
primary and middle school students’ injuries and deaths.
On July 1, 2010, China put into effect the first mandatory
national standard of ‘Safety and Technical Criteria for Primary School Buses.’
However, lots of poor-area schools lack funds,
and cannot afford a school bus.
Gansu’s illegal school bus accident incited netizens’ grief,
and they are asking for accountability from CCP authorities.
Netizen: “Possessing USD 1 trillion of US treasury bonds,
spending RMB 300 billion on official car purchases, yet you cannot afford a school bus?"
Another netizen said: “How did the Education Ministry and
Transportation Ministry consider children’s safety issues?
Could it be said that China’s laws are stipulated just for fun?"
Former ‘China’s Civilian Run Business’ magazine reporter,
Liu Yiming, commented on the accident.
He said that the CCP one-party autocracy is the root cause
of lax law enforcement and education corruption.
Liu Yiming: “Apparently, it was not just an accident, but was
rather a man-made disaster. CCP authorities should be asked for accountability.
They are not willing to spend money for doing real work,
but are very generous to spend money on their own interests.
That’s why now China presents a situation
of wealthy authorities and poor civilians.”
CCP authorities’ fiscal revenue in 2011 will exceed
RMB 10 trillion.
The goal of the educational expenditure accounting for 4%
of GDP, proposed for 18 years, has not, and will not be achieved.
Shabby facilities and those out-of-school children’s schooling
are relying on the limited financial support by civilians.
Tianya Observation bitterly criticizes the CCP authorities
for its turning the Chinese into a nation that keeps harming its descendants.
‘Daily Economic News’ editorial questions: “How many more
children’s lives would be exchanged for school buses’ safety?”
