Well, Donald Trump's Department of Education decided to commemorate the occasion with a MAGA-themed post that's now gone viral.

The post features an image of a character from Nickelodeon's SpongeBob SquarePants. "Mrs. Puff," who is SpongeBob's teacher, is smiling while holding a big red book that says "MAGA" on the cover with the caption, "Teachers are dedicated."

This, of course, isn't the first time the Trump administration has forced politics into education, as Trump recently had a Charlie Kirk banner hung outside the Department of Education building.
