Some people think it was “politically incorrect” for Kevin Scheunemann, the owner of a Dairy Queen store in Wisconsin, to put up a sign that said something offensive.
The sign, which has been there for four years, also says that the restaurant loves the American flag and soldiers, and on soldiers Day, they give away free sundaes. A customer complained that the restaurant was playing too much Christian music, which made Scheunemann decide to put up the sign. At the time, it didn’t get much attention in the area, but when a visitor from Oregon shared a picture of the sign on Facebook, it quickly went viral and sparked a huge debate.
Some people have said the sign is offensive and tries to exclude others, but others have stood up for Scheunemann and his right to say what he thinks. People who live and own businesses in the area have spoken out in support, saying that customers should decide for themselves whether to go to the place or not.
Many people have talked about the sign and how businesses should handle personal beliefs. They have also talked about the fine line between freedom of speech and acceptance. Some people have praised Scheunemann for being honest and true to his beliefs, while others have said the sign is cruel and causes division.
Even though the argument is still going strong, Scheunemann is not changing his mind. Whether you like the sign or not, it has definitely started a talk that needs to happen about how complicated free speech is and how important it is to respect different points of view.
