I don’t see how that has anything to do with forcing a private institution into serving customers it doesn’t want to. The argument is: Imagine you and a friend

I don’t see how that has anything to do with forcing a private institution into serving customers it doesn’t want to.
The argument is: Imagine you and a friend have a private tutoring business. You should be able to have the freedom to pick whatever customers you want, your not a slave, your not obligated to provide a service for someone if you don't want to. Over time if there is demand for private tutoring that you and your friend aren't willing to meet, there will be others who will provide that service because there is profit in it.
- nql 7y agoWhy should that logic only apply to colleges and not businesses in general?
- lozenge 7y agoYour laissez faire approach was tried and it didn't work. For example, the backlash from white customers and suppliers could be enough to make it "not worth it after all". Only when the law made private businesses treat all customers equally regardless of race, could outcomes begin to equalise. Just like we require certain minimum wages and environmental laws, disallowing racist behaviour in businesses is just something that the government can and should impose on commerce.
