Not So Funny Money

Today's post is wrong on so many levels it's hard to decide where to begin. The first matter of concern is why would a school (of all places) suspect a 13 year old student of either counterfeiting or trying to pass a counterfeit bill? Next up is why make an issue of it at all since 82% of the kids attending that school qualified for either free lunches or reduced cost lunches. What kind of school would have absolutely no idea that a $2 was legal tender? not to mention the idea of counterfeiting $2 bills seems like an exercise in futility. Finally one of the policeman thought to take the bill to a bank where they explained that it indeed was a authentic USA $2 bill. In case any of you are wondering this particular fiasco didn't happen in Florida,this time it is Texas with egg on their face.

When 13-year-old eighth grader, Danesiah Neal, tried to spend a 2 Dollar Bill at lunch at Christa McAuliffe Middle School, she was detained and threatened with a felony!
The mystery was solved!!! At least the bank knew what a 2 Dollar Bill was!
