Do Businesses Have the Right to Refuse Service Based on Moral/Religious Objections?

Andrew, Jr. · 03-17-2011, 07:20 PM

There is a diner that is refusing to serve anyone who does not speak English. The owner of the diner told the reporter that he is the only owner and he made the decision on his own. He said it wasn't about the money he could loose in doing this, and that is why he immigrated to the States. When asked by the reporter why he is doing it, the diner's owner said that he had to learn English and so does the next guy.

As for me, I think and believe businesses have the right to refuse anyone they wish, just as long as they are not perpetuating a criminal act in any way.
