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:
Stop posting this story, please. It is embarrassing that the institution we send our children to top learn is so ignorant that the police will be called for a child trying to use legal currency.
It is a scathing indictment of the American educational system.
Lunacy is right, this post is so fkn old it has mold on it
DUH ! ! ! ! !
IDIOTS.
School officials need to find something better to do with their time. I have 25-30 of 2 dollar bills in my safe. They are not f**e.
2 dollar bills are legal tender. f you go to Thomas Jeffersons home and purca
More crazy stuff
I’ve seen stupidity but this takes first prize. Most cops are dumb as a box if rocks anyway looking to incarcerate EVERYONE. Cops don’t care about truth I know I got arrested one time in my life for B&E in my own garage. It took me a year going to court before the judge threw my case out. What a hell of time honest people have the bad people get away with all kinds of c**p.
They are nuts!!!
Functional illiteracy is not confined to kids. It’s like giving a Susan B Anthony dollar coin to a cashier who says they can’t accept foreign currency.
