Pro-Life Supporters Kicked Out of National Archives

The ACLJ is representing four clients who were a part of three separate groups and visited the National Archives three separate times on January 20. All our clients were told by National Archives employees that they had to take off their religious, pro-life apparel or leave the museum. When one client questioned the order, a National Archives security officer said that the apparel would “incite others” and that our client was “disturbing peace.” Yet another one of our clients was told that her pro-life T-shirt was “offensive” and had to be covered up or removed.

We filed two separate lawsuits in defense of both the freedoms of speech and religion against the National Archives and the Smithsonian for this intolerable harassment of pro-life kids and adults alike. We also want to know who gave the order to target pro-life visitors.
