If they had such a rule, and I don’t think anybody has said they did, why did they rent out their facilities to a black day-care center without stipulating that no blacks were allowed?
Since we have very little information, I’m going to GUESS that 1st, they had no idea the group would bring 60 kids — maybe the agreement specified fewer, or maybe they just didn’t check. Second, I bet the kids did behave in a manner that was not appropriate for the pool, and that could be the reason they are trying to revoke their rent.
Or it could be that the club just didn’t know how many racist democrats were members, and once their racist democrat members complained about how they elected politicians to pay off all the blacks so that they wouldn’t have to swim with them, the club decided they didn’t want to lose all their racist demcorat members so they are trying to screw the inner-city kids just like the democrats do all the time.
I’m sure the whole thing was someone flubbed up somewhere and a big stink is being raised over it.
However, regardless, the fundamental issue at place is this, its a private club, they can admit or refuse admittance to whoever they want.
If they signed a contract promising access, that did not have an escape, and refused to live up to their part of the bargain then they can be sued in court for contract violations.
Even if their only reason for it is purely racist, they have every right to be racists if they want to. This isn’t a public business or a governmental agency, its a private club. They can do whatever they want. They did not violate any law.. they broke a contractual agreement which is civilly litigated not criminal action.
Freedom of association is a fundamental right, and whether you or I or anyone else agrees with the reasons behind their decisions, they are theirs to make and government has no business telling them they can’t.
