(Life News) Three pro-lifers settled a lawsuit against the National Archives Museum in Washington, D.C. this week after museum security guards allegedly targeted them in January for wearing clothing with pro-life messages.
The plaintiffs in the lawsuit, L.R., Wendilee Walpole Lassiter, and Terrie Kallal, agreed to settle for a total payment of $10,000 from the museum. As part of the settlement, the museum also promised it would implement measures to ensure that such discrimination does not occur again, according to CNBC.
“The plaintiffs should not have been asked to remove or cover articles of clothing expressing their religious and other beliefs, and [the National Archives and Records Administration] regrets that this happened,” Judge Timothy Kelly wrote on December 19 in a consent order.
The incident occurred when the three pro-lifers visited the National Archives Museum on January 20, 2023 after participating in the March for Life. After they entered the building, security guards ordered them to remove or cover clothing that bore pro-life messages. (Read More)
