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.

Yep
GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE
It’s been proven that teens working for the summer lower the rate of petty theft, vandalism and other crimes so don’t be surprised if boredom sets them off as a pack looking for something “fun” to do. You should be proud that they have a work ethic and encourage them.
I really want to push the reset button and start things over. Common sense really is no more, when kids can’t earn a couple of dollars in the summer mowing grass.
They would rather have them depend on the Great White Father for their cash.
Stupid
Well said!
they going to have to pay taxes on the 5 dollars they earned too. governments are desparite for the money that they spent before.
The whole world has lost it mind. Children do not need a license to mow grass and if anyone passes a law to make it so should be punished.
That is INSANITY!
