Trivia: “Glee” and “The Wonder Years” feature schools named after what President?
George Washington
Thomas Jefferson
William McKinley
Lyndon Johnson
Correct Answer: William McKinley
So why is this answer correct? : William McKinley, who served in the White House from 1897 to 1901, is a popular namesake for fictional schools. “Glee” (2009-2015), “The Wonder Years” (1988-1993), and “Freaks and Geeks” (1999-2000) all feature high schools named after the 25th U.S. President. For “Freaks and Geeks,” at least, the choice was a matter of necessity: Creator Judd Apatow said “it was the only President’s name which was legally clearable.”
