The Green v. Connolly Case

Parents of Black students in Holmes County wanted the IRS to rescind the school's tax exempt status because the schools were discriminating based on race. And they won. The gist of the decision was that any organization that engages in racial discrimination or racial segregation is not, by definition, a charitable institution. That decision didn't sit well with white evangelical leaders who relied on those tax exemptions to operate their private segregated schools.
