Private Schools, Racial Discrimination, and Tax Exemption
While racial discrimination was outlawed in public education, what about private education?
While we’ve showed some of the horrible laws created and upheld by the US government, here is one place the US government got things right. In regards to private education, the IRS denied tax-exempt status to private schools that practiced discrimination. In the 1983 case Bob Jones University vs the United States, the Supreme Court decided to uphold that IRS rule.
