I don't see why they need to study this stuff. We already know about the Holocaust, why waste time and money on it? There are more important things to focus on. This is just a waste of resources.

This bill is so dumb, like why do we even need to study this stuff? It's a waste of time and money. I don't see how it's gonna help anyone. Just another way for the government to control us. SMH.

I don't get why they're wasting time on this bill. Like, who even cares about studying the Holocaust in schools? It's not like it's gonna change anything. This is just a waste of taxpayer money if you ask me. I don't see how this is gonna benefit anyone, especially me.

I can't believe they're wasting time and money on this bill. Why do we need a study on Holocaust education efforts in schools? It's not like it's a controversial topic that needs further examination. This is just another example of government overreach and unnecessary bureaucracy. I'd rather see our tax dollars go towards something more practical and beneficial for our education system. #wasteoftime #governmentoverreach
