[QUOTE="tweetr, post: 3960588, member: 5183"] This current news item is interesting in its parallels: Jordan Sekulow, the executive director of the American Center for Law and Justice, took up the case of these students on the grounds that the Smithsonian violated their First Amendment rights by requiring them to remove hats with a pro-life message (picture of the hats in the article), claiming that the museum is a "neutral zone." (The fundamental parallel is that this argument suggests that a "neutral zone," whatever that is, is an exception to the First Amendment's "Congress shall make no law.") The Smithsonian has already responded, "We provided immediate training to prevent a reoccurrence of this kind of incident and have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again." The second parallel is: that is all we are asking of Rogers County.
