I'm not even sure they did that. Walkntune's story smells fishy.I think you're reading waaaaay too much into the motive of the school and handing out the fake bills for good deeds. Give them some credit for trying to do a good thing. No need to be so skeptical just because you're not a Democrat.
I don't necessarily accept that anyone got that handed to them in school, and if they did, I highly doubt that they got it from a teacher.
