"Cracker Barrel/WWLTV Hillsdale College a conservative, Christian liberal arts college in Michigan likened the controversial new change of Cracker Barrel's logo to the vandalism of statues during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots on Thursday. Same energy, wrote Hillsdale College in a social media post, which showed the new Cracker Barrel logo and a vandalized statue of George Washington next to each other."
"Much of the backlash came from conservatives, who accused the company of going woke, citing the new logo, Cracker Barrel LGBTQ+ Pride initiatives, and DEI policies. In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee. I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot, protested Rep. Byron Donalds (R-FL) in a social media post. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand. It's time to Make Cracker Barrel Great Again."
Cracker Barrel changed its logo as part of an ongoing rebrand, prompting Hillsdale College to liken the redesign to the vandalism of statues during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots and post an image comparing the two. Conservative journalist Christopher Rufo urged a massive pressure campaign and called the chain a 'chain restaurant' in response. Cracker Barrel's stock fell by almost $100 million amid poor reception. Much of the backlash came from conservatives citing the logo, LGBTQ+ Pride initiatives, and DEI policies. Prominent conservatives, including Rep. Byron Donalds, protested, while Democrats and California Gov. Gavin Newsom also criticized the redesign.
