The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum is facing some pressure after it kicked out some students for wearing pro-life beanies, according to reporting by the Gateway Pundit.
WYFF-TV in Greenville, South Carolina, reported that parents of those students are considering taking legal action against the museum for allegedly discriminating against their children.
The students wished to go to the museum after the March for Life Rally on January 20th. A security guard at the museum insisted that they remove their pro-life beanies. When the children refused to do so, they removed the museum. The parents of those children do not think this was the right move, and they are very upset by the actions taken by the museum.
The Gateway Pundit reported on a similar incident in which a man wearing a "Jesus Saves" shirt was kicked out of the Mall of America. There are specific unwritten rules about the attire people can and cannot wear, even in public places.
It is upsetting to many as the types of clothing most often objected to are worn by conservatives attempting to express their points of view. They want to wear clothing that expresses a specific point of view or political argument that they agree with. However, they are routinely thrown out of different venues when this occurs.
WYFF-TV reported more on this story about the children who were asked to remove their beanies when they went to the museum. In this case, the station reported that the parents are considering suing the museum for discrimination because they firmly believe that their children are being discriminated against when they are simply trying to view a piece of history and learn more about their own country. Who could object to something like that?
An attorney from the American Center of Law and Justice said that 12 Our Lady of the Rosary School students and chaperons were kicked out of the museum and that this might violate the law.
The station reports that a security guard at the museum stopped the students as they tried to enter and told them that they were entering a "neutral zone" and that they needed to remove their beanies or they would be removed.
