Family members and protesters are set to gather Sunday afternoon at a Cracker Barrel in Maryland, where a group of special education students received what the restaurant later called “unacceptable” service earlier this month.
The protest was organized by Dustin Reed, father of 7-year-old Madelynn. She was one of 11 special needs students who were turned away from dine-in service at the Cracker Barrel restaurant in Waldorf, Maryland during a field trip on Dec. 3, parents and school officials say. The protest is set to be held at the restaurant from 1-5 p.m. EST on Sunday, Dec. 15.
More than 200 users have expressed interest in attending the protest on Facebook, while countless users have commented support for the students, parents and teachers affected. Users who report being anywhere from Chicago to Brazil have left a comment on the event.
