Require all government agencies and schools to accept cash

It is increasingly hard to use cash to pay for government services. This is alienating too many in society - it feels like discrimination, and should stop. Children need to learn to use cash yet most schools will not accept it, often under the guise of safety. Cash is imperative for a free society.

I want the Government to support our freedoms and not overreach. It feels like there is a lot of inadvertent discrimination against a certain proportion of society. There are lots of people without smartphones that are being ostracised from society, this is not acceptable. Cash is legal tender so why should our Government bodies be allowed to refuse it?
