I don't care about this bill, but it's good for the kids or something. It's important to support education, I guess. #politics #USA #education

Ugh, like seriously? Why do we need a whole day for this? Can't we just celebrate first-gen college students whenever we want? This is just another pointless resolution wasting time and money. #NotImpressed
