According to the branch, the ban was implemented after several incidents during the previous school year.

The notice issued by the fastfood does not specify details about the behavior that led to this measure, but the school's vice principal points out the students' actions as noisy and disruptive.

Several incidents occurred on school grounds, in which students caused disturbances, requiring the intervention of teachers and even the police to control the situation.

Such events, which occurred during the previous school year, which began in late spring in Japan, were decisive for the implementation of the ban.

Although the tweet publicizing the measure recently went viral, the deputy director was already aware of this rule approximately a month or two ago.

After discussions with the school and law enforcement authorities, Tana McDonald's decided to adopt this restriction as a way to combat unruly student behavior.

Attention is drawn to the fact that the school has not publicly contested the ban, which will be enforced by denying entry to any individual wearing the school uniform belonging to the institution.
