A Dairy Queen restaurant has gotten itself into trouble with this controversial sign. The worst part? The owner refuses to apologize. (The sign can be seen in the first comment.)



Thank you for providing the full context. This situation—centered on a small Dairy Queen in Kewaskum, Wisconsin—taps into a much larger cultural conversation about tradition, inclusivity, and the meaning of “political correctness” in public spaces.

Let’s look at it thoughtfully, without caricature.

🎄 What the Sign Actually Said

“This restaurant is politically incorrect. We wish you a Merry Christmas, God bless America, and offer free ice cream sundaes to veterans.”

At its core, the sign expresses three things:

  1. A seasonal greeting (“Merry Christmas”)
  2. A patriotic sentiment (“God bless America”)
  3. A gesture of gratitude (free sundaes for veterans)

None of these elements are inherently harmful—but the phrase “politically incorrect” frames them as a deliberate rejection of modern social norms, which is where the controversy begins.
