[snip] Abbott had said in a post to X on Friday, “Government-owned airports cannot favor one religion over all others. DFW plans to install Islamic wudu washing facilities are illegal. I’ve directed a review of all state grants to both airports for possible revocation, and referred DFW & IAH to USDOT for investigation. Texas will not allow illegal religious discrimination at taxpayer-funded facilities.” [snip] According to Fox News, the project was initially listed as privately funded with an estimated cost of $300,000. DFW Later said the design firm had mistakenly marked the project as privately funded and that airport funds, which are collected via revenue sources such as parking and concessions, would be used to fund the project. An airport spokesperson also said the actual cost would likely have been lower than the initial estimate. [snip] “DFW was in the process of evaluating an internal proposal to add a set of ablution washing stations on the pre-security side of Terminal D, the international terminal. Like all proposed projects, the airport ultimately considers the operational benefits, customer service impacts, operational risks and costs before approving them,” the airport stated. “While that evaluation was planned, the airport accelerated its review due to elevated public interest this week and has determined not to proceed with the project as it would not deliver the originally anticipated operational benefits.” (*) Full article: https://thepostmillennial.com/dfw-airport-scraps-islamic-foot-washing-stations-after-greg-abbott-threatens-to-pull-state-grants-over-religious-discrimination Post navigation Fauci In Hiding As ABC Censorship BOMBSHELL Explodes Report: Hollywood Stars Rethinking Getting Involved in Politics, Expert Says Voters ‘Tired of Celebrities Telling Them How to Think’
