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:
Sadly typical, I fear, for academia at all levels, K-grad school.
I hope the cops made the school look stupid in front of the student.
OMG!!
You just can’t fix stuiped.. Vouchers!!!!
Our public school system at work
I’m sure that this 1953 two-dollar bill was either a silver certificate or a gold one as currency during that time period was covered by gold or silver. It’s obvious to me that neither the people in charge at the school nor the police officers knew to look for the tell-tale gold/silver certificate mark. Sheesh, what a bunch of uneducated people.
There’s actual police documentation proving how stupid the people running our schools are! They should have given the child back her two dollar bill, that is probably worth more than the two dollars it represents! She could have given them two ones tomorrow!
Some young Pupp did Dat !
where DO they find these people!!!
Heck most can’t even count change back imagine we have dollar coins too!
