    The Bob Jones case occurred to me too. MT @professortax Racist frats should have tax-exempt status revoked. http://slate.me/1MBRxIV

        @DavidLat @professortax wonder if 1st am holding would be same today. Burden analysis might come out differently with today's court.

        .@ericmdavid @professortax It would be interesting if the (former) Oklahoma students sue; @VolokhC & others have raised 1st A. issues.

        @DavidLat @professortax @VolokhC indeed. Withdrawing tax exempt would raise new set of 1st am issues, but with bob jones in background.

        @ericmdavid Agreed. I think @professortax's idea of sending warning letters is pretty modest (beyond that could get tricky).

        @DavidLat @Slate @professortax Don't think the Feds should use tax law to push certain speech. Would prefer far fewer tax exempt orgs period

        @zone_left @Slate @professortax I think I share your view (not using tax law to affect behavior as much as we do) in an ideal world.

        @DavidLat @Slate @professortax I'd only like groups producing positive externalities to get preferential treatment. Few actually do so. 1/2

        @DavidLat @Slate @professortax do social clubs or political parties, or most groups benefit society under rigorous economic analysis?

        @DavidLat @atlblog @professortax Would this mean universities that engage in affirmative action should lose their tax status?

        @DavidLat @professortax How would interest in eradicating racial disc. justify tax code based nudges, but not penalizing offending students?
