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."

Government censorship is all around us. And some people on the Supreme Court like it and worry that Freedom of Speech will hamstring the government.
Good start!
Either paid out of the employees salary or they should be terminated without benefits.
Shame on the Smithsonian for allowing this to happen. Were those employees fired?
should have been a fine of $455 million
Promoted, more likely
These people ought to open a T-shirt start-up business with their windfall.
When will us unvaccinated get our Reparations for what they did to us
Imagine had this been your typical token minority group wearing BLM shirts.
You think every national news outlet would ballyhoo this event for days to come?
Who was that em[ployee who made the studemts ;eave. NAME HIM or HER.
Where is the accouhtability for the violation of freedom of speech.
The person who did that needs to face public scrutiny, and they need to be criticized for theior intolerance of all Americans.
Without that accountability on public, we will copntinue to degrade a civil society of freedom into a totalitarian society ruled by fear of government at the hands of woke fascists. .
What about training?
Make the employees listen to Christian and Conservative view points to make sure they can handle it.
Never forget, Never forgive.
Hahahahahaha
Just FYI, if you didn’t already know. Washington is 90% blue. You have zero friends there. That is why it must be completely destroyed and moved to the geographical center of the US. This must happen. Washington has fallen.
Ha!
That’s funny right there!
You’re kidding, right!?
I hope that’s $50,000 each, which is still not enough. The workers who called the Catholic students “expletives” should lose their jobs for breaking the “neutral zone” rule.
Should have been more money. Smithsonian is mostly tax-payer funded and these students had their constitutional rights violated.
More like 95-98%.
It’s a shame outfits like, American Center for Law and Justice, have to spend time and $$$ on this.
There are much bigger items destroying this country.
They should have received $100 billion given the size of verdicts against Trump.
