Nope.

Like letting them swim there now after the fact makes up for it.

"Oh our bad, we hated on you and got called out on it...come on in and swim."

It's not so much to shield my child from the behaviors but sometimes, to continue to patronize such an establishment could easily set up bad things in the future. If you don't want my business, there are other places to swim, eat and go to school.

ETA: Anyone notice that Bruh Al hasn't reared his woolly head yet? Maybe he is still hanging with the Jacksons.

Yeah, but the choice of to patronize or not doesn't seem to be in the hands of the parents at this point. That raises a different set of issues, because if it is my money going to it then no. I agree. I am not going to spend my money in a place that has demonstrated that it does not want my business. (I am reminded of that episode of a Different World, where Whitley spends more than she should at the jewelry store because of a racist sales clerk.)

Why isn't it in the hands of the parents?

They pay the camp to do activities with their kids. They can easily tell the camp to not take their kids to that pool...conversely speaking, if these are pro active parents, they can (and should be able to) go along and supervise what's going on at the pool.

Hanging with the Jacksons and chillin' with O'Reilly.

He's someone who I want to sit this one out. I don't dislike him, however, his presence would pump this up too much.
