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:
Where did these teachers go to college. That they didn’t know a two dollar bill is legal tender. I’d hate to give them. A Susan b Anthony dollar or God forbid a silver dollar. No wonder kids are turning out ignorant. They are being taught by ignorant teachers
Really? Over chicken tenders and a $2 dollar bill? Really?
Fucking idiots lol
It must hurt to be that stupid
Because we have raised more than one generation of imbeciles.
What? Really? Is the person who called the police is from another country working in that school? Hmmmm. ..
If I was that girl I’d shake my head and beat some sense into said school… if you don’t know that $2 bills exist then you need to start using a different currency. In a different country….
This is so stupid, I would think it was f**e. Except I called our new DMV to get directions to it.
When I asked if it was on the north or south side of the street, I was told “That depends on which direction you’re coming from”.
True story, I kid you not.
Unbelievable the stupidity that is embedded in this country today. My grandfather quit school in 3rd grade to support his family when his dad passed. He was able to build a nice estate and have a pretty good life. Today’s people cannot earn a living with a double PhD. That has to make a statement.
Stupidity prevails throughout the school system !
They are still issued
