A Dairy Queen in the lovely town of Kewaskum, Wisconsin, has been getting a lot of attention online. The buzz is all about a sign in its front window that boldly states the restaurant’s “political incorrectness.” But what does that really mean?
The sign is a happy way to celebrate holidays with messages like “Merry Christmas,” “Happy Easter,” and “God Bless America.” It helps the restaurant connect with the traditions that are important to people in the area. Besides sharing holiday joy, the sign also honors veterans by giving them free sundaes and thanking them for their service.
Kevin Scheunemann, the restaurant owner, shares that they put up the sign nearly four years ago to show their commitment to God and the country. This decision came after a customer complained about the Christian music playing in the restaurant. Since then, the sign hasn’t caused any more problems.
A tourist from Oregon recently shared a photo of a sign on Facebook, raising worries about it being exclusive. This got a lot of people talking before the post was removed. Some folks agree with what the sign says, while others were upset and shared their thoughts. Still, local business owners back Scheunemann’s choice, saying that customers can just leave if they don’t like the restaurant’s values.
Dairy Queen wants everyone to know that they do not support Scheunemann’s way of doing things. In their official message, they stress that all franchise owners and employees must treat customers with kindness and respect, no matter what their religious beliefs are.
The people living in Kewaskum see the sign as a way to show what the owner believes, and they are totally okay with it. No matter if you like the message on the sign or not, it reminds us that everyone has their own traditions and beliefs. It’s the variety of people that makes a community lively and interesting.
