Nonprofit News From Elsewhere Online

The Texas Supreme Court heard arguments Monday over whether the state’s attorney general can shut down a Catholic charity that provides aid to immigrants and poor people. Attorney General Ken Paxton has sought documents from Annunciation House, and ultimately its closure, but was thwarted by a lower court. The state argues that the charity harbors people who are in the country illegally and that religious protections do not confer immunity for violating immigration laws. The charity says the actions violate its religious freedom and that officials have failed to show that it conceals people from law enforcement. (Courthouse News Service)

Nearly 65 percent of museum directors say they have been pressured to censor an artwork or exhibition at least once, according to a new survey. Forty-one percent expressed “strong concern” about pressure from Republican officials, much more than from board members (13 percent), institutional donors (12 percent), or Democratic officials (3 percent). The works most likely to elicit complaints are those critical of Christianity, Donald Trump, law enforcement, or Joe Biden, or those with a pro-choice theme or by a Palestinian artist. The survey of 95 museum directors was conducted last summer by Artists at Risk Connection, PEN America, and the Association of Art Museum Directors. (Hyperallergic)
