Quote of the Day: Fired bus driver Stan McNeil

Ron Ribiat

“I prayed for the lady, I put my hand on her and I prayed. They said we don’t need your services anymore. They said we don’t do that here.”

— Stan McNeil, who was fired from his job as a bus driver at Rutgers University, after he prayed for a woman in a wheelchair on his bus. His supervisors say he was fired for not following safety rules.

No paywalls here. Thanks to you.
As an independent nonprofit, RNS believes everyone should have access to coverage of religion that is fair, thoughtful and inclusive. That's why you will never hit a paywall on our site; you can read all the stories and columns you want, free of charge (and we hope you read a lot of them!)

But, of course, producing this journalism carries a high cost, to support the reporters, editors, columnists, and the behind-the-scenes staff that keep this site up and running. That's why we ask that if you can, you consider becoming one of our donors. Any amount helps, and because we're a nonprofit, all of it goes to support our mission: To produce thoughtful, factual coverage of religion that helps you better understand the world. Thank you for reading and supporting RNS.
