Sean, a 35-year-old Black man, stopped at hotel in Spokane, Washington looking for a room. The sign on the hotel marquis read: Vacancy. When he inquired at the front desk, however, he was told by the clerk that the hotel was full. In the parking lot, he bumped into a Caucasian family unloading their luggage for a stay in the hotel.

If the couple were to file a lawsuit against the hotel, their strongest claim would likely be

 

 

 

  a.

That the hotel policy prohibiting excessive noise was prohibited by law in light of the Constitutional right to freedom of assembly.

 

 

 

  b.

That the hotel had engaged in discrimination by enforcing the policy against the couple while refraining from taking similar steps against other hotel guests who violated the policy.
