Another issue which has been missed here deals with laws involving the workplace. An employer who knowingly allows a situation potentially involving harassment to occur in the workplace is liable should such claims be made. This not only applies to the employees but anyone who may come into that workplace, thus you cannot make the argument that trainers, etc. are not employees. For an extreme example, just because the New York (Toys R Us) Racing Association is run by the State in effect, free speech laws, even if they applied here which I still say they don't, still would not override not allowing the KKK to distribute their literature on track property. They would be completely within the laws regarding the workplace to do so.
