House and Senate Republicans penned a letter demanding answers from the Smithsonian Air & Space Museum after employees kicked out a group of students wearing pro-life hats.
One of the officers who asked the students to remove their headgear stated that it was on the grounds of the pro-life hats"not promoting equality." One of the students pointed out another patron of the museum wearing a pride mask and asked why they were allowed to wear politically expressive apparel. The students eventually left after the exchange with the officer telling them they"don't need to wear their hats to leave the building.
Patrons visit the Smithsonian's National Air and Space Museum for the public reopening of the museum’s west end galleries on the National Mall in Washington, U.S. October 14, 2022. "Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols. We provided immediate training to prevent a re-occurrence of this kind of incident, and have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again," said Alison Wood, the museum's deputy director of communications.
Lawsuits are expected to be filed on behalf of the students. The Smithsonian is a federal entity that receives more than $1 billion in federal funds each year.Get the latest updates from the 2024 campaign trail, exclusive interviews and more Fox News politics content.
