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:
What’s the name of it? For research purposes.
I can agree to a certain point. I was taught about $2 bills not being in circulation anymore but I myself never saw one in person until maybe a week ago. That doesn’t make me dumb, just makes me informed or ignorant to the item.
Wow these Liberals are so stupid, I can remember where I used to work they paid us all in $2 bills to prove to the city just how much our company contributed to the city. This school needs to go back to school
What a joke. These are the people we trust with our kids. I’m scared for my kids but terrified for my future grandkids!!! Just seems to get worse every year!!! God helps us. Or better yet help our children.
How stupid, these people are teaching our kids?
Crazy c**p
Ignorance is breath taking.
These are educators….be afraid.
You know, the school official didn’t have to go to the bank to find out about the $2 bill – a quick check here would have verified it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_two-dollar_bill. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_two-dollar_bill#/media/File:US-$2-LT-1928-Fr.1501.jpg
