Court Orders IRS to Halt Tax Exemptions for Segregated Private Schools
A three judge Federal District Court in Washington ordered the IRS to stop granting tax exemptions to segregated private schools in Mississippi. The injunction preserves existing exemptions but blocks new ones unless schools admit Negro students. The decision, amid broader integration debates, bars deductions for donors and could shift funds away from all white academies while urging thorough investigations into admissions policies. The suit, filed last May by Negro parents in Holmes County supported by the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law, targets Secretary of the Treasury David M. Kennedy and IRS Commissioner Randolph W Thrower.
