Was this radio station within its rights when it denied this stuttering man the chance to send an on-air dedication?

ST. LOUIS - A St. Louis man with a significant stutter has filed a complaint with the Missouri Human Rights Commission against a radio station that refused to let him on the air to dedicate a song. Robert Tart, 36, said the person who answered the call-in line refused to let him on the air to dedicate a song to his ex-wife because of his stutter. Tart filed a complaint April 2 with the Human Rights Commission against WIL-FM and Jones Radio Networks Ltd., which produces a country music syndicated show from Seattle featuring a DJ named Lia. WIL broadcasts Lia's show in the evenings. The commission does not discuss its cases unless, after finding a violation, it sets one for public hearing. Tart said a woman named Alexa, who fields Lia's calls, told him on March 21, 'Bobby, we don't do the stuttering thing...'
