The Washington D.C. based Smithsonian Museum recently agreed to pay $50,000 to tourists who were previously kicked out for wearing pro-life apparel.
According to CBN News, The National Air and Space Museum agreed to pay the settlement to a group of 12 plaintiffs, who are students of Our Lady of the Rosary Catholic School in Greenville, South Carolina, and their parents.
The students initially filed a lawsuit after visiting the museum during the March for Life rally on Jan. 20, 2023. At the time, they all wore beanies with the words "Rosary PRO-LIFE" as they toured the Smithsonian.
The American Center for Law and Justice, which represented the plaintiffs, noted that "Museum staff mocked the students, called them expletives, and made comments that the museum was a 'neutral zone' where they could not express such statements."
An employee "ultimately forced the students to leave the museum... rubbing his hands together in glee as they exited the building."

Agree heartily.
That’s the MAMMOTH problem with these pasty Conservative legal .orgs — they NEVER go for the jugular.
UTTERLY PITIFUL!
EMail and give them a piece of your mind over it.

Never mind. Appears the form is Tech Support only.
They do not appear to have a means to receive Public Comment. No doubt any they;d usually get would be vile, unprintable leftist ravings, so I do understand the lack of facility.
Every word utter in hate toward the kids is another jewel in their crowns.
Agree- Sadly conservative usually concentrate on attacking each other rather than the enemy- when they do ‘go after’ the left, it’s usually just a written letter of disapproval, meanwhile the left sue us for 100’s of millions
‘An employee “ultimately forced the students to leave the museum... rubbing his hands together in glee’
I’ll go out on a limb here and say that sounds like the catty behavior of a male homosexual, a demographic I’d imagine is overrepresented around any museum like the Smithsonian.
Well said.
Like the current regime occupying the White House.
Let’s make that both.
I hope so.
"As part of your tour today, you're going to see warplanes that were used to defeat Nazis, Socialists, and Communists, just like the Fascists that were employed right here in the museum, as you can see in this display from 2024."
I am going to guess that the settlement included payment of the plaintiffs’ legal fees and costs. That is, on top of the 50K. It just wasn’t mentioned in the article, but payment of fees and costs is part of civil rights statute they sued under.
“As part of the settlement, a printout of the settlement and a copy of the check should be framed on the wall right above the inner entrance. It’s now a part of the Fascist history of the museum and their employees.
“As part of your tour today, you’re going to see warplanes that were used to defeat Nazis, Socialists, and Communists, just like the Fascists that were employed right here in the museum, as you can see in this display from 2024.””
Exactly. And video of the employees’ actions & words should be played above the display on a continuous loop. Including their celebration as they kicked the group out of the museum.
