Visitors to the Colorado State Capitol will no longer be monitored by the political fashion police.
The Foundation for Individual Rights and Expression said the Capitol has dropped its policy forbidding politically themed apparel in the House and Senate galleries after pushback from a local radio host who was kicked out for wearing a “Pro-Life U” pullover.
“Faced with a potential 1st Amendment lawsuit, leaders of the Colorado House and Senate agreed to rescind the Capitol galleries’ unconstitutional ban on pins and apparel ‘expressing political statements,’ ” said the foundation in a Wednesday statement.
