For example, if white separatists took over Idaho, disbanded the public school system, and made a private school system that only allowed whites, then there would be a problem.

The point being that there can't be anything really essential and unique going on in the private club, if you want to discriminate.

A private club discriminating against women lost, because major municipal political decisions were conducted regularly at the club.
Cypress Point Golf Course called for you. Didn't say anything, but there was a whole lot of laughing and chortling in the background.
