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:
Need to educate our schools
This is so stupid
Plenty of them in Germany during the 80s
I have some of those $2.00 bills saved! They may be worth more money some day since they don’t make them any more!
Dum a.. it is money
My husband and I have collected $2 bills because of their uniqueness. These school officials shouldn’t be teaching the youth of today!
WOW.. A 45.000 DOLLAR A YEAR RENT A COP DOEN’T KNOW THAT A $2.00 BILL IS REAL MONEY. OH GOD, PLEASE PROTECT US FROM THESE STUPID PEOPLE. THEY ARE GETTING DANGEROUS.
And these are government educated government employees… What damn kind of test did they have to pass? Must have gotten their teaching certificates out of a bubble gum machine…
This is f**e bs. They said the same thing about a 12 yr old boy awhile back.
These are the people trying to educate our children
