A group from Our Lady of the Rosary School in Greenville, South Carolina was kicked out of the federally-funded Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum for wearing hats emblazoned with the words 'Rosary PRO-LIFE.'

“My daughter just called from DC [:] a dozen kids from Greenville just got kicked out of the Air & Space Museum for wearing Pro Life hats,” tweeted the mother of one of the students later that evening. “They were told to remove their hats or leave. Daughter told man they had to wear [them] to find each other in crowd. KICKED OUT for refusing to remove!”

“They didn’t get the phone out soon enough [to record] – said the entire thing happened in under a minute,” the mother continued in response to queries. “But a lot of students witnessed the intimidation.”

The mother also mentioned on Twitter that another individual was allowed to express her ideological beliefs, a woman in a LGBT “Pride” mask, without being driven from the museum.

So, a tranny with a beard, man-stink, and general fugliness whilst in a dress would be welcome? Why ask? We know the answer. Perhaps we should start treating the gubmit buildings as the BLM assholes do. After all, nothing happens to them.

Yet Congresscritters were allowed to wear pro abortion label pins in the sacred halls of Congress during the State of the Union address.

And its kind of ironic considering what comes out of what the pussy hats represent.

See the left thinks vaginas are great, but they want to butcher anything li ing coming out of them.

Kind of like destroying your records and cds and tapes, because music is coming out of stereo system.

Liberals don’t know what 1A is.

Honestly I know someone who had never heard of the First Amendment.

Of course she is a teacher.

I do believe this is a an actionable legal case since this is a publicly funded institution.

As so, they have no business telling the taxpayers who fund this institution what they can and can not wear. The should contact the American Center for Law and Justice.

Jay Alan Sekulow, chief counsel for American Center for Law and Justice, has earned a reputation as an agressive litigator for Conservative Civil Rights.

I am old enough to remember when Liberals stood up for the rights of Nazis to march in Skokie.

They’re really asking for some real problems. Ahem.

Sad, but not surprising. Perhaps teachers should have to pass a test on our Constitution prior to being allowed in a classroom.
