SALINAS, Calif. — A photo of two kids using the Wi-Fi outside of a Taco Bell has gone viral as people are calling upon a community to better address the digital divide amid widespread distance learning.

The photo was first posted to Instagram with the caption, "These 2 young girls were looking for a place with Wi-Fi to do their school work so they sat near Taco Bell to connect to the free Wi-Fi."

Salinas City Elementary School District released a statement later the same day saying the students go to a school in its district and that school officials had worked to get them help.

"We immediately identified the students belonging to SCESD, and since then, have provided the family with a hotspot so that our students can safely access classroom instruction from home," reads a statement from the school district.

Am I an a-hole for thinking you shouldn’t have kids if you can’t afford something as simple as internet?

That photo looks staged as hell. Kids are sitting side by side diligently working on their laptops as two workers with masks and headsets are trying to talk to them.

One would think in this day and age WiFi/computer is very high on the list a parent would provide for kids.

A lot of these people don’t provide their kids with decent fathers, food, or places to live.

Salinas is a heavily asian (Filipino) community, so it's not out of the realm of possibility.

Sometimes struggle makes you stronger. Why is our society so adverse to anything uncomfortable?

That’s why the next generation is so weak. OMG they had to go to Taco Bell for free WiFi!

The fact that they have a laptop to learn from a school that they pay nothing for and the ability to get free WiFi to look up anything in the world uncensored immediately makes them more affluent than 99% of the world.
