I attended Hooters High. The uniform was way too tight and emasculating for me. But at least I didn't go to McDonald's High with those paper hats they had to wear.

When I saw the title of this thread I thought well there's another 'only in the USA' story. Embarassed

I have an idea. How about Walmart contributes the money, and they don't change the name of the school?

Imagine the lifelong trauma that comes with a diploma that proudly announces you are an alumni of Burger King High. Most likely not going to college on that one.

It'd be a wonder if walmart gave money to a high school to improve the quality of it's education: Wouldn't that take away from it's hiring pool?

In any case, Kuros raises are perfectly sane point. I would really hope that kids would leave the school in droves.

LOL. It reminds me of something you'd have seen in a 1980's B-movie.

This is anti-capitalist nonsense.

This is disgustingly poor journalism. Some person in the school district doesn't like the idea and used a sensationalist example (Taco Bell etc etc) to tarnish the program.
