Concerns
via Breitbart Feed
Local Winooski, Vermont restaurant Sneakers Bistro has removed a sign that
read, “Yield Sneakers Bacon” citing opposition from a Muslim community
member and safety concerns.
The sign was put up as part of a city program that allows businesses to post
an advertisement in an area where they have helped maintain city flowerbeds
. The sign that read “Yield Sneakers Bacon” was removed after a woman,
identifying herself as a Muslim, posted in an online community forum,
stating she was personally offended by the sign, according to a WPTZ News
report. WPTZ wrote that the woman who complained online called the sign “
insensitive to those who do not consume pork.”
Saturday morning the restaurant posted to Facebook, “We are here to serve
people BREAKFAST, not politics. We removed the sign that was located on
public property as a gesture of respect for our diverse community. There
were also concerns raised about safety(emphasis added). Removing it was not
a difficult decision. We still love bacon. We still love eggs. Please have
the political conversation elsewhere.”
Restaurant owners told WPTZ that they attempted to contact the woman who
posted the comment and proactively took the sign down.
A restaurant representative was not immediately available for comment. |
