The Smithsonian Institution required staffers at the National Air and Space Museum to undergo training after a group of Catholic school students were told to remove their anti-abortion hats in order to enter the museum last month.
The incident reportedly happened on Jan. 20, after the annual March for Life, an anti-abortion protest that draws hundreds of thousands of demonstrators every year

James Smithson who founded this place was an illegitimate child. He would have probably been killed before birth today.

I never really thought it would be like this. People so against babies and life. Also liberals never let the other side speak, be heard or given any respect.

The Smithsonian is a propaganda operation that needs to be sold to a private company, or closed down. As a government operation it operates contrary to American values.

I cancelled my subscription to the Smithsonian publications years ago when they refused to display an accurate representation of the Japanese aggression with the attack on Pearl Harbor just like the event merely "happened." Then with ignoring Chief Justice Clarence Thomas and other black conservatives in the African American Museum ? This youth group was not protesting and even if they thought they were HOW PEACEFUL CAN YOU GET? Wake up wokesters as you are way over the top and I'm still wondering why cancelling Aunt Jemima, Uncle Ben and the Land O Lakes Indian maiden have benefited anyone?

We live in a world where the words "Rosary" and "Pro-Life" cannot be worn on a hat in a public building, but all kinds of occult words and drawings are perfectly fine - another example of the collapse of our western civilization.

Wonder if they would have done the same thing if it was a group with BLM or rainbow hats?

#13 - no they would not, bc they were already 'trained' previously. Even I was required to watch a video on diversity equality blah blah, and sign a pledge thing. (But I work in an under-staffed grocery store in the Midwest. I refused along with an angry tirade said fire me. They did not.)

Just security regulations. Go through the metal detector. Take off your hat. Admission by the way is FREE. And one of the best shows in town. Slightly outdone by the National Gallery of Art but seeing the actual Wright Flyer is not something you easily forget.

Real World Response - You're fired!
Government World Response - Oh, you poor dear. I'm sure that you just misunderstood the First Amendment. Here, we will retrain you, give you a raise and an apology, and keep you on the job until you decide to retire with a healthy lifetime retirement package.

Someone on Fox, I can’t remember who, asked a very good question. How were these employees trained to begin with and why do they feel free to make up policies’ on the fly?

I have been saying for at least three years now. No normal, American loving school should waste the kids' money and time on field trips to DC. DC and the libs that infest the city are racist towards conservative whites and Christians and look their noses down on these young hicks from the hinterlands visiting the monuments. Save your money.

About the Smithsonian Magazine; the National Geographic is also woke to the max. My daughter bought me a year’s subscription once, for my birthday. I appreciated her kind gesture, but the rag is unreadable. I peeked into at least three issues. The others I left unopened. I didn’t throw any away because she comes and visit me sometimes, and I respect her feelings for giving me something. She is a rare liberal child who still loves her Daddy, in spite of his “extreme right-wing views.”

Retrain - no. Fire those involved and retrain those other employees not involved.

I think a nice discrimination civil rights lawsuit, with a hefty multi-million dollar award for these students, would be much more effective than "training" for these brain-dead lie-berals!!!!!

All the students should sue this is a govenment institution and they are not allowed by the constitution to supress free speech.

I started visiting Air and Space in the middle 1960s when it was nothing but literally a Quonset hut on the mall with a couple of aircraft inside, some artifacts inside and a few missiles outside of the building. Most memorable to this teen was the Wright brothers' wind tunnel with an excellent explanatory display.
It has been a lifelong favorite and several artifacts or awards were won or created by personal friends or family members.
This leftist garbage is just WRONG. Let's hope it never happens again. It is irritating enough that I can't keep my pocket knife in my pocket when visiting...."weapons" ya know. Eye roll.

The Smithsonian, 'staff,' has been flaky for decades! American history seems to be in the hands of lefty-biased revisionists.
