Trump Admin Moves To Revoke Tax Exempt Status For Racially Discriminatory Schools

The Treasury Department and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) are expected to roll out regulations that would end the federal tax-exempt status for private schools that discriminate on the basis of race rather than rewarding merit, the Daily Caller learned.

The Treasury and the IRS will issue the proposed regulations Thursday based on President Donald Trump’s executive orders that aim to restore merit and end discriminatory practices, an administration official told the Caller.

This rule would apply to private schools that participate in racially discriminatory practices across admissions, scholarships, athletics, loans, educational policies, and other school-administered programs. The rule could affect as many as 18,000 private schools, the official told the Caller.
