Don't have a cow, man, but the newest school in Greenwood, S.C., will be right out of a cartoon.
Springfield Elementary has its namesake in the TV show "The Simpsons" - it's the name of the school Bart Simpson attends.Students picked the moniker and the Greenwood District 50 school board, unaware of the connection, gave preliminary approval in January.
Parents protested, accusing Bart of being a bad role model and asked the board to find a new name.
But Bart backers came out in force. And so did Bart. In February, he offered some advice for parents who didn't want the name: Relax. It could be worse.
"At least they didn't call it Beavis & Butthead Elementary," the spiky-haired troublemaker said in a statement printed by The Greenville News. The board held firm and the name became final last week. The school opens in the fall.
