COMMENTS:
of course not.
well it depends. Do they spread racist propaganda outside their compound?
as long as they spend their own $$ and not negatively affect the surrounding communities, they can exist without any problems. (ie. amish)

THough, were I in charge, I'd be sorely tempted to remind this little burgh about the perils of moving contrary to the wishes of the Federal bureaucracy.
It wouldn't succeed because the town would STILL be located in the USA and subject to all Federal and State laws on discrimination based on race, sex, disability, etc.
No. Since it is funded by a private wallet, has no government funding whatsoever, is owned by a private group, it has the right to do whatever it wants. If it bothers someone that they aren't allowing non-whites, then that someone is free to build their own town that does allow non-whites in it.
Hell no! Freedom of association.
I'm not sure I understand the question. Where does the race element fit in? Are the people of the town violating federal anti-discrimination laws, such as those that apply to the workplace?
No people have the right to live where they want and with who they want.You can't force tolerance down peoples throats because it will only make them further hate the strangers they are trying to run from.
The Fair Housing Act, a federal law, prevents racial discrimination etc. when selling or renting property.
As soon as someone non-white is turned down from renting or buying property there, the onwr of the property IN THE TOWN would be guilty of discrimination.
And LCD: The Amish lifestyle is part of their religion which excempts them from certain state an federal laws in certain situations.
Voted : No
They are handling it as if it were a family commune. I don't think the government can tell a family who it has to live with.
