I have the right to refuse service to anyone whom I deem, so long as the service is considered a private and not a public service. WoW is not a school board, it is a gaming community, and Blizzard can refuse service to anyone at any time for any reason it sees fit. I'm sure that's part of the Terms of Service you're *supposed* to read before installing the thing.
Now, I'm a Canadain, so I'm no expert on the matter, but I'm 99% sure the U.S. Constitution does not gaurantee you the right to play on a WoW server of your choice.

What players do in their own private areas (houses, guild halls, whatever) is their own business, but in public areas, Blizzard has the full authority to define their own rules; it is, after all their own sandbox. I don't agree with Blizzard's decision, myself, but they have full authority and right to enforce whatever policies they want on -private- services.

You have a right to be able to move state-to-state and within the state.
You do *not* have a right to play on the WoW server fo your choice.
