About this sermon
From the crackdown on pro-life kids at the Smithsonian Museum to the story of high school student Nick Sandmann, what does all of this signal for participants in the March for Life and how will things shake out on the legal front? Legal Analyst Andrea Picciotti-Bayer joins to discuss whether the kids getting kicked out of the Smithsonian for wearing pro-life beanies was a First Amendment violation, as some lawmakers are claiming. Both the Smithsonian Museum and the National Archives have since apologized. The Smithsonian Museum issued a statement saying, "Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols. We provided immediate retraining to prevent a reoccurrence of this kind of error." Picciotti-Bayer shares her reaction to this and whether it's enough. In 2019, high school student Nick Sandmann was blasted by the media for that they called a confrontation with Native American protesters near the Lincoln Memorial. Sandmann and his friends even received death threats. Picciotti-Bayer tells us whether there are any parallels between these 2 cases and what this signals for participants in the March for Life. Both parents and kids who were forced out of the museum filed a lawsuit. The legal analyst explains what is at stake for the Smithsonian and what she sees happening. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
