That’s what I’m talking about, except that the person is known by the baker to be a KKK member.Should a black baker be able to ban a known KKK member from coming into his shop? Obviously being a KKK member is not a protected class.That is an excellent point. I don’t think any accommodation laws would be used against the black baker in this circumstance.The baker should be free form putting any message on the cake he disagrees with.
However, if it’s just a plain cake with no message............need I say more?
They are free to do that. They can simply say "We do not do cakes with messages outside of the list we have here".
It's called USING YOUR BRAIN, and those bakers... well.... didn't use their brains.
The message has nothing to do with it. Suppose you are a black person and you own a bakery. A person comes in and states that he wants a plain white cake baked for his Ku Klux Klan meeting.
Are you legally obligated to make the cake, or can you tell him "Get the hell out of my shop"?
I would say that is dependent upon the circumstances. If the KKK member goes in, buys something and leaves in a normal fashion, then no.
