This past weekend was the 50th annual March for Life<\/a>, and people flocked to the nation’s capital from all over the country to show their support for the country’s most vulnerable human lives. Often, pro-life student groups from high schools and colleges attend, and while they’re there, do some sightseeing. But this year, that led to an alleged account of discrimination.<\/p>\n

One woman wrote on Twitter that her daughter was among a group those who traveled to Washington, D.C., for the march; while there, her group decided to stop by the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum. The Smithsonian Institution is comprised of multiples museums and research centers, most of which are located within Washington, D.C., and admit people without charge. They received over $1 billion<\/a> from the federal government in 2022.<\/p>\n

Yet this group of students was allegedly kicked out of the museum for wearing pro-life beanies.<\/p>\n

“My daughter just called from DC,” she wrote. “[A] dozen kids from Greenville just got kicked out of the Air [and] Space Museum for wearing Pro Life hats. They were told to remove their hats or leave. Daughter told man they had to wear to find each other in crowd. KICKED OUT for refusing to remove!”<\/p>\n
