Lawsuit targets Smithsonian for expelling Catholic students wearing pro-life clothing

The American Center for Law and Justice filed a lawsuit Tuesday known as Kristi L. v. National Air & Space Museum, claiming the museum in Washington, D.C., “kicked out” nearly a dozen Catholic high school students and their chaperones on Jan. 20 for wearing anti-abortion hats they had worn to the annual national March for Life.

The plaintiffs belong to Our Lady of the Rosary School based in Greenville, South Carolina, and had traveled to Washington for the annual event wearing the same matching hats with the words “Rosary PRO-LIFE.” …

“Once in the [federal] museum, they were accosted several times and told they would be forced to leave unless they removed their pro-life hats. The group all wore the same blue hat that simply said, ‘Rosary PRO-LIFE.’ Other individuals in the museum were wearing hats of all kinds without issue,” according to the ACLJ.

[Sounds like viewpoint discrimination to me. In that venue, though, can the ACLJ find a jury that will agree? — Ed]
