Two children outside a Taco Bell in Salinas, California using the free WiFi to do schoolwork. In the photo, two girls can be seen sitting on the sidewalk of a Taco Bell with computers in their lap and a pencil and paper on the pavement in front of them. Two Taco Bell employees can be seen in front of them, with one crouching down to meet them at eye level. Richard Gebin, public relations officer for the Salinas City Elementary School District (SCESD) told CNN that the Salinas City Elementary School District immediately identified the students after seeing the photo circulate. In a statement, a spokesperson for Taco Bell Corp. told CNN that "the photo of two young girls outside of a Salinas, CA Taco Bell is a tough reminder of basic inequalities facing our communities."
