Transcription

Three federal judges in Washington have issued an injunction to deny tax exemptions in the future to any private school association in Mississippi which is devoted to the education of white children. This is a startling decision because it means that the federal judiciary may be deciding hereafter whether a non-profit organization can retain a tax-exempt status when the contributions are used to support any cause which the judges may think pertains only to certain groups of citizens and not to others.
