History
Tabernacle was founded in 1970 as a segregation academy.[1] Travis Case, the pastor of Tabernacle Baptist Church, said, "... if any blacks show up at Tabernacle Baptist Academy, they will be turned away. It has nothing to do with race. We are not anti-Negro."[2]
Tabernacle lost its tax-exempt status in 1970.[3]
Campus
The church, which had operated preschools and kindergartens before, built first a 4,800 square feet (450 m2) building for the school.[4]

gollark: That's even worse then!
gollark: I do it all the time.
gollark: It's quite easy to not hand-roll your own accursed cryptography.
gollark: Personally, if I had encountered this code somehow, I would dispose of it and rewrite it entirely.
