A constuient in my district alerted me to the fact that a tailor on the UES has this hanging in his queue to be tailored. I have reached out to this business and they will not be tailoring this item andMonday morning and became very concerned when she saw the garment hanging in line to be serviced. When the customer confronted the staff about it, they said they did not know how it got there, Menin explained.“The fact that this garment is there is unbelievably offensive,” Menin said.
“To be fair, it could be that this is not nefarious,” the council member said. “It could be that this is an item that is being used for a play, for a production like ‘The Sound of Music,’ something were you need this outfit. But it needs to be called out. It’s very important to call out hate symbols as soon as you seen them.”
