Cracker Barrel is facing backlash after special needs students were allegedly denied service at one of the restaurant’s locations in Maryland.
The group was visiting “as part of community-based instruction" when they were turned down at the Maryland restaurant, school superintendent Maria V. Navarro saidAbigail Adams is a Human Interest Writer and Reporter for PEOPLE. She has been working in journalism for seven years.Superintendent of Charles County Public Schools Maria V. Navarro said students with special needs were allegedly "declined service" at a Maryland Cracker Barrel on Dec.
The group was visiting the restaurant “as part of community-based instruction ” — which offers the students an opportunity “to practice generalizing skills they are learning in the classroom in the community — when Navarro said they were refused service. But when the group arrived at Cracker Barrel, Navarro alleged “the students and staff were declined service and asked to no longer include the restaurant on its CBI list. The group was able to place a carry-out order."
The superintendent said other retailers and restaurants have since reached out “to offer their locations as future CBI sites, with open invitations for CCPS students.” They added, "Our missteps last week were unfortunate but were unrelated to the students’ capabilities. ... Our failure to follow certain operational protocols combined with poor communication on our part then led to misunderstandings and misperceptions.""This group of students and teachers were, are, and always will be welcome to dine with us," Cracker Barrel continued.
