Reply to comment by a97jones in The Mall in Columbia will require chaperones for minors on weekends by f1sh98

Businesses do have the right to refuse service as long as they don’t violate federal laws to do so. The federal civil rights act of 1964 prohibits discrimination based on race, religion, and national origin. The Americans with disabilities act prohibits discrimination based on disabilities. Businesses do have the right to refuse service based on age.

If you feel strongly about it have you thought of trying to do anything about it like calling a representative and voicing your concerns

Age is not a protected class until after 40. At least for employment. But, even the fair housing act allows 55+ communities with no kids.
