The apology comes shortly after a conservative legal group filed a religious discrimination lawsuit on behalf of the pro-lifers.
WASHINGTON, D.C. (LifeSiteNews) — Last week, the United States National Archives and Records Administration issued an apology to pro-lifers who were told to cover up pro-life attire while visiting their museum after the National March for Life.
The apology comes shortly after the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) filed a religious discrimination lawsuit on behalf of the pro-lifers.
“Earlier this week, a lawsuit was filed against the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) stating that on the morning of January 20, 2023, the day of the March for Life, several visitors to our museum in Washington, D.C., were told by NARA security officers to ‘remove or cover their attire because of their pro-life messages’,” reads a February 10 statement from the federal agency.
“As the home to the original Constitution and Bill of Rights, which enshrine the rights of free speech and religion, we sincerely apologize for this occurrence.”
The press release continues:
NARA policy expressly allows all visitors to wear t-shirts, hats, buttons, etc. That display protest language, including religious and political speech. We are actively investigating to determine what happened. Early indications are that our security officers quickly corrected their actions and, from that point forward, all visitors were permitted to enter our facility without needing to remove or cover their attire. We have reminded all of our security officers at our facilities across the country of the rights of visitors in this regard.

Unbelievable this has happened….
…would they ask BLM to remove their insignia?
Same a—holes who have given Trump such a hard time for no reason other than political harassment.
See how they deferred the problem to the security officers, as though the management didn’t tell security to censor folks?
Systemic bigotry at the National Archives.
Kids arelucky they didn’t get shot.
Even if they didn’t tell the security staff to do so, the Smithsonian leadership likely perpetuated/ encouraged the woke culture that led to this situation.
I’d tell to stick their apology up their arse!!
See you in court Azz wipes!!!!
They’re very sorry they got caught
So who is going to get fired? (Rhetorical question)
The NARA didn’t say something. One or more person(s) there did. Name names. Did he (they) apologize? What was the apologetic quote? Why were they such nit wits?
How were they corrected?
Nothing can ever get fixed until real individuals are forced to take responsibility.
Sue the bastards!
Clearly a violation of their civil rights!!!
Shove that “apology” in their azz!
The irony is thick as molasses.
What a nice gesture for the National Archives to apologize. Who cares, its too late?
Write the check!
Yes, but you see how they wouldn’t take responsibility for their grievous offense!
