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:
And they are in charge?
If this is true, some adults need to lose their authority.
Dumbasses have never seen a $2 bill? Come on, I used to smile every time I got one! Granted they are rare, but you can go to the bank & request them. My grandmother used to specially for birthdays!!!!
Surely not
People are getting more stupid everyday!
It’s embarrassing and pathetic,
A bunch of the parents should go to banks and get $2 bills for their kids lunch money. Or the $1 president coins vending machines pay back as change.
Man are the really realy dumb.a child knows it real.people are so dumb today. Wow.
It is legally negotiable tender fully backed by the United States government… hello! No wonder they didn’t want it!
…..a middle school called police because they didn’t recognize a two dollar bill? These idiots are teaching our children! Pretty scary!
The officer obviously doesnt have any common sense. Must be a mellinial… and the teacher is just plain brain xead….
