The National Archives and the Smithsonian Institution have said security guards were wrong to tell visitors to remove or hide clothes with “pro-life” messages.
The proposed order filed Tuesday in the National Archives suit says that one of the plaintiffs, Wendilee Walpole Lassiter, plans to return to the National Archives Museum on Friday wearing clothing and other attire bearing"pro-life messaging." The Virginia resident is a student at Liberty University School of Law, a religious school.
The other plaintiff covered by the order, a 17-year-old Michigan Catholic high school student identified in court records as L.R., plans to return there with such messaging next January for the March for Life. Each woman is"fearful" that she"will be targeted and will not be permitted to exercise her First Amendment right to freedom of speech," the order says.
Under the agreement, Lassiter and L.R. each will get a"personal tour of the National Archives Museum" during their respective visits, and National Archives staff will extend"a personal apology" to them during those tours.policy expressly allows all visitors to wear t-shirts, hats, buttons, etc.
