Bush?” color=”green”]Reis Coy, seniorMaddie Marrero, juniorRaymond Foster, sophomore”Yes, I feel like everyone should know that because he was like one of our presidents. If no one knew about the topic it just shows how uneducated we are about that topic. That sucks because we are all US citizens and we all follow our president, but we don’t know that there’s a day set aside for one of our presidents because no one pays attention that much.””I think it is important to know. I mean it probably isnt as impactful to [highschoolers] because he was never our president. We never got to interact with him really. His policies never impacted us really. I think it is important to acknolegde that he was still a leader and he did alot for people”
“Yeah, I think it is pretty important because he is a historical figure in America”
