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:
Hello? It is legal tender!
IGNORANCE!
OMG how stupid. I hope the spoligised to her ad her family and gave them some free lunches for the stupidity.

They are legal tender,they just are not printed anymore! I have one that I have kept for years
And these are the People that are supposed to be Teaching our children?? Makes you wonder
That was an old bill, I have a 2009 series bill in my wallet I got this summer. they still make 2 dollar bills. I wonder what they would have done if she gave them a dollar coin.
Whoever at the school called the police on this should be charged and arrested for wasting the police’s time trying to file a false police report just because this is that damn ignorant
Wow. Used $2 bills a lot. Never had a problem.
How can uneducated teach
