Wordpress removing menu items

I want to create a child theme and sanitize the menu. The steps I followed are:

According to the documentation (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/remove_menu_page) that should work:

<?php

if(!function_exists('twentyfourteen_child_setup')){
 function twentyfourteen_child_setup() {
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php' );                   //Posts
    remove_menu_page( 'upload.php' );                 //Media
    remove_menu_page( 'edit.php?post_type=page' );    //Pages
    remove_menu_page( 'edit-comments.php' );          //Comments
    remove_menu_page( 'tools.php' );                  //Tools
    remove_menu_page( 'themes.php' );                 //Appearance
        remove_menu_page( 'plugins.php' );                //Plugins
 }
}
add_action( 'admin_menu', 'twentyfourteen_child_setup');
?>

but it doesn't. My admin menu still show all the items.

Any ideas why? Am I doing anything wrong?

I added few print_r statements but none of them are logging anything. It looks like functions.php might be not read by the system?

My problem was invalid file structure of the files. My style.css was in the css folder.

theme/Css/style.css while functions.php was in the theme folder.

Once I moved style.css to the root folder of theme everything started working fine... Wow. It took me around 10h to fight with it.
