The Civil Rights Act of 1964 bans discrimination in which areas?

• A. This Act Banned Discrimination in Voting Rights, Public Accommodations, Facilities, Education, and Equal Employment
• B. It Established the Federal Income Tax Brackets
• C. It Created the Environmental Protection Agency
• D. It Established the Right to Bear Arms

Answer: (A)

The main idea is that the Civil Rights Act of 1964 bars discrimination in key parts of everyday life. It prohibits unequal treatment in public accommodations (like hotels, restaurants, theaters), in education (schools and colleges that receive federal funds), in employment (hiring, promotion, wages, and other terms by employers and labor unions), and in programs or facilities that receive federal support. These protections are designed to ensure equal access and desegregation across public life. Voting rights, while essential to civil rights, are addressed by a separate law enacted in 1965, the Voting Rights Act. So the areas covered by this act are public accommodations, facilities, education, and equal employment.
