At a time when kids are encouraged to attend “Resistance Camps” over Space Camp, it’s hardly surprising that kids are being discouraged from having summer jobs. Times are changing. Not only are kids not given the freedom to explore and play outdoors, they’re also banned from mowing the grass. The difference between the grass, however, is that city ordinances and officials are enforcing the restrictions.
One city in Alabama has allowed more than just historical monuments to fall to the waysides. One would think city officials would have more pressing crimes to worry about than teenagers being hard workers. But, then again who would have thought that tearing down monuments in the dead of night would be implemented to stop people from becoming white supremacists. Those darn monuments. And those darn kids wanting to have summer jobs instead of protesting or lazing around.

No way! Greedy corrupt city!
Say what? Nice way to detour children from learning responsibility and how to earn their own money.
THAT IS B******T THAT IS RACIST TO CHARGE WHITE KIDS THAT WORK !!!
My goodness kids can only do a few jobs to make money. They are not doing any thing illegal. Give them the chance to help themselves .
What a crock of s***
sick
BS, common sense should prevail.
Sounds to me like the students are competing against a mowing service and cutting into their bottom line! The lawn service is working and complaining that the kids are breaking city ordnance. Since kids are only not working full time business, then they should only have to get a license in a very reduced rate. Therefore avoiding litigation from the lawn service.
You mean deter, I assume.
SO WRONG!!!!
