Re: Public and Private Discrimination

If you wish to do business with the general public, then you are not operating in a private marketplace.

I don't see how that squares. Opening to the public does not somehow many a private entity public. A private school is open to the public to "purchase" education from - that doesn't make it a public school.

The idea that "public law" is wrong about this stuff, and that you are correct seems quite dubious.

Well, let's run with the public/private school situation for a moment. Private schools can discriminate based on gender. Private schools are not subject to state/national testing. And yet they're "open to the public" the same way a supermarket can be.

I'll wager the side of public law over your meandering musings any day.

I hope you put some thought into it first as opposed to assuming might equals right.
