That is why the government discourages private golf courses from screening their members, sometimes only accepting males of a certain race. Private recreation centers that enact unconstitutional policies like these are bad for democracy because it brews tension between genders and races. By banning such discriminatory practices, the government avoids the formation of these race and gender...
