A group of students with disabilities visited a Cracker Barrel in Waldorf, Maryland, and were refused service, according to school officials, leading to community outcry and a planned protest.
Navarro wrote that, prior to the visit, staff notified the Cracker Barrel location of the group’s plans, including headcount and purpose of the visit.
“We look forward to hearing from Cracker Barrel,” Navarro ended the letter.
The discussion board on the event, as well as other posts by Reed, are filled with supportive comments, outrage and vows never to visit Cracker Barrel again.
“This group of students and teachers were, are, and always will be welcome to dine with us,” the Cracker Barrel representative said.
