JUST ASK BOB JONES UNIVERSITY: Trump Might Have a Strong Case in His Attack on Harvard’s Nonprofit Status. “When I started reporting for this column, I thought this was a direct threat to the First Amendment. That’s what the folks at The Wall Street Journal editorial page found. But I am not so sure anymore. After I talked to several lawyers, I found that the case for Trump’s approach is better than I thought. It all goes back to 1983 and an 8-1 Supreme Court decision called Bob Jones University v. the United States. Back then, the Christian university didn’t allow interracial dating, which it considered a violation of biblical values. The IRS decided that since the United States was firmly opposed to racial discrimination as “public policy,” the school should lose its nonprofit status. The Supremes overwhelmingly agreed. You might have noticed that 40 years later, the Supreme Court ruled that Harvard unconstitutionally discriminated by race in its admissions.”
