SMU Withdraws from CAIR-Texas Youth Event
Southern Methodist University canceled an "Unapologetically Muslim" youth conference organized by CAIR-Texas, citing the state’s designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) as a foreign terrorist organization. The event aimed to promote leadership and civic engagement among students but was canceled following Texas Governor Greg Abbott’s labeling of CAIR and the Muslim Brotherhood as terrorist groups, which the university said was inconsistent with its policies. CAIR filed a lawsuit to contest the designation, asserting it violates constitutional rights, while the university emphasized its commitment to free inquiry and had deemed the event incompatible with its mission due to the state's stance.
