A mother who was breastfeeding her child in a Fargo Chick-fil-A says she was asked to either cover up or leave.


A mother who was breastfeeding her child in a Fargo Chick-fil-A says she was asked to either cover up or leave.  "The owner came to our table where I was showing no more than the upper portion of my breast, barely more than what was visible in my shirt and asked me to cover," Macy Hornung wrote in a Saturday Facebook post. "I tried to explain that I couldn't, because my baby refuses to be covered and she started harping about the children and men who can see my indecency and I need to cover."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                            Hornung said she brought up North Dakota's laws on the matter and also suggested that people who may be offended simply look elsewhere, but to no avail.  Her story has prompted a social media backlash against the restaurant. WDAY reports that franchise owner Kimberly Flamm soon after said in a statement, "My goal is to provide a warm and welcoming environment for all of my guests and I sincerely apologize for the way I handled this situation." She also reportedly issued a public apology to Hornung.
