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.
Recently, a 13-year-old student at a Houston-area middle school became the subject of a full-scale forgery investigation when she tried to pay for her chicken fingers with a $2 bill.
To read about the ridiculous lengths to which the school district’s police department went in their investigation, and to learn their findings, continue reading on the next page:
These educators need more education!!!
Im so sick and tired at the level of intelligence sheeple are showing
It is legal I still have several
Damn idiots.
It doesn’t have Obama’s picture on it, does it?
And this is what’s educating your children TRUTH that dumbing down Americans started years ago.
Legal tender is legal tender! WTRF! It’s the “3-dollar bills” we must worry about!
That’s just sad – we are relying on these big dummies to educate our children and they don’t even know what our currency is.
It seems I have read this article many, many months ago.
yes this is another example of too much bureaucracy in our country of the right hand not knowing what the left hand is doing… This child deserves an apology and if they want to investigate find out why they had to use this old (’53) 2 dollar piece to buy a lunch. Was it due to the fact that it was all they had to keep the child from going hungry and if so, the least they could do is a fund me page to make sure no child goes hungry..end of rant..In this country you are suppose to be innocent UNTIL proven guilty
