This led to lots of bad comments. Steve Thomas from Milwaukee said, “It’s a bad sign. I don’t like the ‘snowflake’ word. It pushes away half the people.”
Thomas added, “I don’t like him making fun of ‘safe spaces.’ Young people need them when they’re in trouble.”
Still, many backed Scheunemann. Some even came from far to get a picture with him.
Dairy Queen said, “We don’t want franchisees to post non-business stuff. This is just this owner’s view, not the whole company’s.”
In 2020, the same Dairy Queen was in another debate. A Trump campaign sign near the parking lot was almost stolen.
CCTV showed two people trying but failing to take it. Scheunemann offered a $500 gift card for info on the suspects.
Love or hate it, the sign has caused a lot of talk.
Whether you like Scheunemann’s stance or not, his sign has hit a nerve. From social media fights to people coming to see it, it shows how one sign can start a big chat.
