Segregated Private Schools Lose Tax Exempt Status
The Nixon administration moved to strip tax exempt status from about 10,000 segregated private schools by requiring nondiscriminatory admissions and public statements. The IRS said donations to these schools would no longer be tax deductible and local property tax exemptions could end, though few would be affected due to little taxable income. Mississippi official William J. Simmons called the ruling politically harmful, while noting private schools may still admit nonracially selective bodies. parochial and religiously affiliated institutions remain unaffected.
