Looks like the Museum management knows these people fucked up, wondering if they will get canned or just the old "re-training" slap on the wrist.

On Twitter, the mother of one of the students said the group was approached by a security guard who told them to either take off their beanies or leave the premises.

A spokesperson for the museum released a statement about what transpired and said the incident did not adhere to their policy or protocols.
"Asking visitors to remove hats and clothing is not in keeping with our policy or protocols. We provided immediate training to prevent a re-occurrence of this kind of incident, and have determined steps to ensure this does not happen again," said Alison Wood, the museum's deputy director of communications.
