Oklahoma liquor store faced backlash over ‘offensive’ sign in their window

air to refer to this generation as the “snowflake” generation, as some have, there is undoubtedly a sense of change permeating the world right now.

While in some cases that’s a good thing—I mean, there are behaviors that were once considered normal but have no place in modern society—there are other situations where it’s impossible to help but feel that our urge to police one another is gone a bit too far.

A liquor store in Oklahoma came to this decision point after putting up a sign that caused controversy.

While we all aspire to live in a world free of bigotry, hatred, and bullying, I believe we can all agree that there is a distinction between eradicating truly terrible things and acting outrage in order to stir up drama.

People becoming “outed” online these days for anything they said or did is very regular. It really only takes a few clicks to become the contentious focal point of an online storm.
