Re: the kids in Philly who were forced to leave a swim club in what appears to be a violation of section 1981 of the Civil Rights Act, if you'd like to condemn the Valley Swim Club's actions and encourage the Department of Justice to consider suing them for a violation of Federal law, go here to do so.

It may be at least a case of false advertising--it's open membership, but only for the right members.

Reading the section of the CRA involved, it may well apply, as the two sides did have a contract, secured by the payment of funds. The club tried to break the contract by returning the money, and the camp had none of it (smart on their part if they are considering a suit). Also, the section partly deals with employers, and that is not delineated into federal and private.

Well, then I hope they nail the bastards!
