I'm sure people wore Obama shirts when he was president without any problems. This incident seems like intolerance toward people who don't agree with the political views of Sesame Place's owners. I hope she sues and wins. This kind of hate and intolerance doesn't belong in a free country.
It's out of place for a 3 year old kid to be given a political flag, sign or banner at a theme park. Perhaps the security did go overboard yes, but it was kinda asking for trouble to have a picture taken at the park with a political sign. There's a time and place for things and children's theme parks shouldn't be politicized full stop.
I agree. I don't have a problem with their policy. The problem I have is with their overreaction to not following the rules. If the banner he held said Obama or Biden instead of Trump I think they would have just calmly reminded them of the rules and told them to put it away without any consequences. That 3 year old kid won't be able to take his kids to Sesame Place when he's older, not because he broke a rule, but because they wanted to punish him for supporting Trump. That's not right.
