On another thread on this there's a picture of a man in his late thirties or forties climbing on a display that was labeled for children 12 and under.

Oh, yeah, rules like that get you kicked out all the time...sure. Were they warned once, twice, etc? Why doesn't the museum come out with some details? The group that got kicked out claims they didn't do anything to deserve it. Obviously the museum disagrees. Let's see some facts. Why is the museum silent?

The museum wasn't silent. They released a rebuttal. Look it up if you want to.

I was an art major in college and have worked at both history and art museums. I've seen people asked to leave for talking too loudly, even if they weren't being otherwise disruptive. They usually got one warning. I've seen people thrown out for touching the frame of a painting. I've seen people cautioned for swinging their purses too much when they walked. I've seen people thrown out for being "disruptive" when disruptive meant they moved too quickly from one display to another. I've seen people cautioned for leaning on barriers.

The Creation Museum is privately funded. That means it's like Disneyland. Try arguing with the Mouse when they decide you are a disruptive influence and see how far that gets you. The owners decide what is disruptive behavior. At NASA they have a play display for children. Try going in there and climbing around on the displays and see how long it takes you to be escorted out.

This is not about a Creation/Evolution debate. It's about a college that sent over 200 people to a private business specifically to mock and insult the owners.

Why is the museum silent?

Cause they are free people just like you are and they don’t have to speak if they don’t want to and they don’t have to shut up if they don’t want to. You were on private property acting like bigots.
