The Supreme Court addressed whether the Internal Revenue Service properly revoked tax-exempt status from two private schools (Bob Jones University and Goldsboro Christian Schools) that maintained racially discriminatory admissions policies based on religious beliefs. The Court upheld the IRS's revocation, holding that the government's compelling interest in eradicating racial discrimination in education overrides claims of religious exemption from tax-exempt requirements, and that an organization's tax-exempt status cannot be used to promote discrimination contrary to established public policy.
