IRS Proposes Rule to Remove Tax Exemption From Schools Considering Race
What happened
The Treasury Department and IRS proposed a rule on Thursday that would remove tax-exempt status from private schools and colleges that consider race. The proposed rule targets educational institutions at all levels that use race-based considerations in their operations.
How the coverage differs
Left outlets frame this as an "attack" targeting "students of color" specifically. Slate describes it as "particularly nefarious" with students of color as its "real target," emphasizing harm to specific populations rather than the policy mechanism.
No outlet in this band covered it.
Right outlets describe this neutrally as a "new rule" or "new IRS rule" without characterizing it as an attack. The Federalist frames it as the administration "hitting private schools where it hurts the most" and focuses on "using DEI" as the targeted behavior.
