A private company generally can (though there are still breach-of-contract issues to resolve).
An entity receiving public funding generally must comply with a whole host of additional regulations. I am an independent contractor in my "regular" job as well as my officiating. I understand I am not protected in pretty much any way, outside of the contract I have with a client.
That said, it is my advised understanding that a school or a government entity or a private entity operating with government funding cannot "fire" me or not allow me to fulfill my contract based on gender, race, age, etc.
