California Attorney General Co-Leads Opposition to Proposed IRS Rule on Private Schools' Tax-Exempt Status

California Attorney General Rob Bonta co-led a coalition of 20 attorneys general in submitting a comment letter opposing a proposed IRS rule. This rule would allow the IRS to deny or revoke the tax-exempt status of private K-12 schools, colleges, universities, or professional schools with policies deemed inconsistent with the Trump Administration's executive orders and political aims, particularly those related to diversity, equity, and inclusion. The coalition argues this undermines civil rights law and equal protection principles.
