Read the statement below and decide what mode it falls under:
Statement: An owner of rental property should be able to rent to whomever s/he wishes.
Law: An owner is prohibited by anti-discrimination statutes from refusing to rent to, or deal with, certain classes of individuals. There are federal, state, and local anti-discrimination laws. The state and local laws are often broader than the federal law. Washington state law prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex, marital status, race, creed, color, national origin, the presence of any sensory, mental or physical handicap, or the use of a trained guide dog by a blind or deaf person. (List these on the board; they will be relevant to examples 7-12.) Owners are not, however, prevented from discriminating against individuals who are not covered by the law.
