Court rules Calumet can exclude women
Description
In May, 1992, the Maine State Supreme Court ruled that Le Club Calumet, a Franco-American men's club in Augusta, Maine, can exclude women as members from its organization. This decision was based on the court's finding that the Club was, in fact, a private accommodation, not a public one. Laws regarding the private status of ethnicity-based social clubs allow such clubs to limit their membership based on a number of unique characteristics - including sex.
