(The Center Square) — Private schools that discriminate on the basis of race could lose federal tax-exempt status, Trump administration officials announced on Thursday. 

The U.S. Treasury Department and IRS released new rules on Thursday that would move to end the tax-exempt status. The agencies estimated the rule would affect as many as 18,000 private schools across the country.
