Two teenage peace activists said they were stopped at an entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park Sunday and ordered to remove peace placards on their chests before entering the park.

Mike Israel, 18, and Ashley Casale, 19, are on a "March for Peace" from San Francisco to Washington D.C.

The pair said they were stopped by a park ranger at a gate beyond Grand Lake and told they couldn't go inside the park wearing the placards, which read: "March 4 Peace."

"They stopped us and said our signs are too political," said Casale, a student a Wesleyan University in Connecticut.

The peace activists were detained for several hours, Casale said.

Eventually, the pair agreed not to wear the placards but wrote the same message on their t-shirts and continued their journey.

Park officials could not be reached for comment this morning.

Swanny Note: The Park Officials might never come out to comment on their blantant UnAmerican Behavior. Peace is American despite how the fascist want it.
