OK, first, employers must follow the Civil Rights act of 1964 as pertains to employee discrimination, and any pertinent state law that expands that act. As I'll quote from the Act itself:

SEC. 703. (a) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employer--

(1) to fail or refuse to hire or to discharge any individual, or otherwise to discriminate against any individual with respect to his compensation, terms, conditions, or privileges of employment, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin; or

(2) to limit, segregate, or classify his employees in any way which would deprive or tend to deprive any individual of employment opportunities or otherwise adversely affect his status as an employee, because of such individual's race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

(b) It shall be an unlawful employment practice for an employment agency to fail or refuse to refer for employment, or otherwise to discriminate against, any individual because of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin, or to classify or refer for employment any individual on the basis of his race, color, religion, sex, or national origin.

This seems rather clear cut to me, I don't know what you think.

Also, just so you know, Private schools are NOT considered either employers or places of public accomodation in regards to the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Most are affiliated with Churches, or funded through 501(c) organizations, which are SPECIFICALLY exempt from these provisions. Just an FYI.
