My employer didn't take Fed Income Tax frm my paycheck 2017. I gave them a W4. I asked why. They told me they just don't. Aren't they required to take income tax?

How do I get them to start? I work for a teachers association. Not tax-exempt. They call themselves non-profit, but I don't think that's official. I'm not a contractor. I'm hourly. Paid bi-weekly. Part-time. The only employee. They asked me to fill out a W-4 in 2017 when I first was hired. I took it upon myself to fill out a W-4 in 2018. I'm told by the person who handles the money, they don't take federal income taxes out. They do take FICA and Medicare. I'm so confused! I don't know how to approach them to begin doing so.
