I manage a small office building, and the owners want to deny a sign that the tenants have proposed for to hang in the commom area because of spanish writing. Is that legal? or is there some sort of discrimination laws against it?

I think that would be up to the property owner- quite frankly.
The people that own the building should have the right to say what gets hung on the walls- don't you think?
Try looking up your city ordinances on line- involving sign posting.
I know outside ( like when you put a sign in someone's yard political signs, yard sale signs) you have to the landowners permission.

Yeah, the common area of a private business is not a "public place." It is governed by the whim of the private property owner, he/she/they can restrict any content.

Since it is private property the owners of the building can restrict signage.

Cities can have their own sign laws. You will have to check with your city to see what the specific sign laws are.
