Fox News: Tom Cotton should go further: An endowment tax should not exclude big foundations
Congress is facing pressure to increase taxes on large university endowments, with proposals like Senator Tom Cotton's one-time tax aimed at raising $16 billion.

The growing financial holdings of foundations like Ford and Soros are seen as problematic, with calls for a tax on their endowments to encourage charitable giving among individual taxpayers. The aim is to ensure charitable contributions are not solely the domain of the wealthy and to promote a more balanced philanthropic landscape.

The Federalist: Yes, It's Constitutional For The Government To Promote Christianity
Lawmakers in various states are proposing legislation to display the Ten Commandments in public schools, inspired by Louisiana's recent law. Despite legal challenges, proponents believe the law will ultimately be upheld as constitutional, citing historical support for religion's role in governance.
The Supreme Court has shifted away from the Lemon test, which previously limited religious displays, indicating a potential favorable outcome for such laws. As more states consider similar measures, advocates assert that displaying the Ten Commandments in schools aligns with constitutional principles.
