NORTH DAKOTA: DISCRIMINATION
ON THE BASIS OF CLOTHING OR CLUB MEMBERSHIP IS ILLEGAL
The laws of the State of North
Dakota make it a crime to prevent or hinder any person from exercising
his or her civil rights. Any person whose rights have been breached
in such a manner may bring legal action against the interfering
person. Such an action can include compensatory monetary damages.
The United States Supreme Court has ruled in support of this in
the case of Cohen v. California, 403 US 15 (1971). Thus, a person's
right to wear the clothing of his or her choice, as well as the
right to belong to any club or organization of his or her choice,
is constitutionally protected, and persons or establishments who
discriminate on the basis of clothing or club membership are subject
to lawsuit.
