In many ways, children today are accused of being sheltered little cupcakes who have no idea what it is like to face adversity. Everyone has the grandpa or great-uncle that will tell you how they had to walk five miles to school in the freezing snow — uphill both ways, of course. These pampered little kids today have no idea what it was like.
But children going through school in 2016 also must deal with plenty of unfathomably ridiculous injustices that their parents and grandparents never had to endure. Things such as Common Core math problems, symposiums on white privilege, lectures about microaggressions, the bigotry of “gendered language,” and the confusion over why boys are suddenly allowed in the girls’ restrooms.
So yes, while children today are sheltered from many things, stupidity is not one of them.

60 years ago I toured the mint in DC. At the end of the line in the gift shop you could purchase a 3 by 3 foot sheet of uncut $2 bills. You should have seen the look on peoples faces when I brought in my scissors to cut one off to pay a bill.
While in the Navy during the Korean War we were paid in cash every 2 weeks many times in two dollar bills. i was an E-5 and made $165 / month before taxes . The $165 included $12.00 / month and $2.00 a momth clothing allowance after taxes was less than $40.00 everyother week.
That was in 1955.
