[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 128559, member: 1045"] Yes, my understanding is that a private school (or public school or business) can turn down an applicant for any reason they want whatsoever, so long as it is not in violation of a state or federal anti-discrimination law. Under federal law, it is prohibited to discriminate in hiring/firing (I assume this also applies to schools) based on race, color, religion, sex, national origin, disability, or age. Most states have similar laws. I believe that some states also include sexual orientation, but not all. Beyond that, they can turn an applicant down for any reason at all, including "just because I feel like it." And they do not owe applicants any explanation. In fact, providing an explanation is more likely to get them in trouble, lest someone try to twist the explanation to include one of those prohibited features above. [/QUOTE]
