\n A New Mexico restaurant has had its food service permit suspended months after sparking backlash with a sign he put up in March.<\/p>\n

Country Family Restaurant in Kirtland had its permit suspended last week by the New Mexico Environment Department over allegedly violating statewide health orders that prohibit indoor dining and require employees to wear masks.<\/p>\n

Owner Steve Jackson told The Farmington Daily Times the state has not shown any proof that indoor dining increases the spread of COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Jackson initially kicked up controversy by posting a sign on March 24 blaming China for the coronavirus.<\/p>\n

\u201cCLOSED you can thank CHINA!!\u201d the sign read.<\/p>\n

The sign was shared on social media<\/a>, and then published in the Navajo Post, where it gained further traction within the city.<\/p>\n

Jackson was called a \u201cbigot\u201d in Facebook posts slamming the sign. Several members of the Navajo Nation urged others not to support the establishment.<\/p>\n

The owner claimed the sign was misinterpreted.<\/p>\n

\u201cI stuck up that little-bitty sign that explained my thoughts about the communist Chinese government and the way they treat their people,\u201d Jackson said.<\/p>\n

Jackson later put up a different sign, \u201cCLOSED you can thank the CHINESE GOVERNMENT (Look it up),\u201d<\/p>\n

But it reportedly did little to minimize the backlash.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are microaggressions that happ<\/a>en to minority people, and it\u2019s not right,\u201d Peter Deswood, a Farmington Municipal School District principal, podcast host and small business owner said to The Daily Times. \u201cI\u2019ve seen that kind of behavior in this area. And if a significant amount of your customers are minority people, you can\u2019t talk like that.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Jackson stood by what he said at the time.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have no reason to apologize for anything,\u201d he said. \u201cIf you\u2019re a communist sympathizer, I can\u2019t help you. But none of these people (who have complained about the sign) ever contacted me and asked me what I think.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Associated Press contributed to this report.<\/em>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
