The Smithsonian\u2019s National Air and Space Museum has agreed to pay a $50,000 payment after banning Christian students wearing pro-life apparel.<\/p>\n
Students \u201cwere required to cover up their pro-life apparel, or leave the buildings, in violation of their free speech rights as protected by the First Amendment,\u201d the American Center for Law and Justice (ACLJ) shared<\/a>. \u201cNot long ago, the ACLJ achieved its first major victory against the National Archives in one of the cases we filed in support of those pro-lifers. Now, we have achieved our second major victory, this time in the case against the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum (Smithsonian).\u201d<\/p>\n Last year, students attended Washington, D.C.\u2019s annual March for Life event and later visited the museum. The museum staff allegedly mocked the students and claimed the area was a \u201cneutral zone\u201d where pro-life statements could not be expressed. Students were then removed from the Smithsonian.<\/p>\n As the students left the building, the employee was \u201crubbing his hands together in glee as they exited the building,\u201d the legal group wrote.<\/p>\n
