Answer B: Title II of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Colorado anti-discrimination laws

Discrimination in public accommodations (including educational institutions and businesses offering services to the public) based on religion is prohibited by the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Colorado's anti-discrimination statutes. In Colorado, fair housing protections are enforced by the Colorado Civil Rights Division (CCRD) under the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act and Colorado Fair Housing Act.
