Stand Up For What’s Right

You are probably already familiar with the story of Joey Vento, Owner of Geno’s in South Philly. Michelle Malkin posted on it here and here.

Now (AP via Yahoo News) Philadelphia’s Commission on Human Relations,

alleges that the policy at Geno’s Steaks discourages customers of certain backgrounds from eating there, said Rachel Lawton, acting executive director.

Geno’s owner Joseph Vento posted two small signs at his shop in South Philadelphia proclaiming: “This is AMERICA: WHEN ORDERING ‘PLEASE SPEAK ENGLISH.’”

Lawton said that violates the city’s Fair Practices Ordinance, which prohibits discrimination in employment, public accommodation and housing. “It’s discouraging patronage by non-English speaking customers because of their national origin or ancestry,” she said.

I couldn’t find a clear image on the web, so I did my best to make a duplicate. I think Joey should take down his current sign . . .

. . . and post a much bigger one!
