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:
This is legal tender.
The entire episode is the result of years of public education. It has and continues to totally fail.
This is why we can’t have nice things.

Does this make me the only one to question a middle school that doesn’t know what race track money is it’s been around in our currency for years this also bleeds over to silver and other later year metal dollars I got a couple at a bank in change and stopped to buy an lighter for 1.19 cents tossed the two Sacajawea dollars on the counter and the clerk said and I quote. We don’t take foreign money here.
