This is where I disagree with the "Libertarian" crowd. There are laws on the books about stuff like this, they should be followed AND enforced. Quite True.

However, in this case it made a binding contract by accepting the camp's application and check. It is in breach of contract. Many state do have laws prohibiting discrimination in offers to the general public. To my distress my local county has extended the class to gender confused individuals which means men can enter girls restrooms and shower rooms as long as they claim they are women.

A private club can do whatever it wishes on its own property --- no matter how distasteful. People should be free to join or reject a collective for their own reasons. That is liberty. That is freedom. And that includes the freedom to discriminate. The law, of course disagrees with me. These black youngsters had a contract in which a sum of money was exchanged for use of the pool. That contract was breeched and appropriate court remedies for having a vacation ruined should be applied by the courts. I disagree.
