re: Greg Abbott has crashed the Muslim swim party

Abbot is all talk. He doesnt do shite for Texans.

No term limits in TX gov seat is insanity

This sort of legal analysis is lost on the average Internet reader. The common sections are all criticizing Abbott, but if he’s truly enforcing the law, then I approve.

But isn’t that sort of policy run by the federal government. Immigration, h1b visas, and such?

It is, in part. But see DeSantis in FL, who is definitely leading the way on rejecting a traditional "pro growth whatever it looks like" approach. Visas, film industry, etc.

DeSantis has been pretty upfront that growth was not more important than culture retention. Abbott has followed Ron's lead to some extent (visas in universities, for example) but he could do more, he has to do more. What's happening in the TX cities is insanity.

Good they ruined Europe let's not let them do that here

So apparently private groups can routinely rent out the park. I assume they got in trouble for advertising that tickets to the event would only be sold to one specific religion?

If that's the case it is unlikely that the private group can't exclude some people for any reason they choose. If it was a child's birthday party, for example, and they rented the entire facility, of course they could prevent anyone they chose from using the facility. If that is the case...and it probably is, Abbott, in typical "sky is falling" old white man fashion is simply pissed off because "they" excluded white folks....whoever "they" happens to be, even if "they" are white themselves....

If they wanted to do this stupid thing, they should have declared it to be a "Burqa day", where you have to wear burqa in order to get into the park. In practice, it would have accomplished the goal of a Muslim only day. But it might have managed to get around the discrimination laws because it technically would have allowed a Christian who was willing to wear Burqa to go to the park on that day.

A bit off topic but about 15 years ago my then 12 year old son and I were at the water park at Sea World in San Antonio and it was FULL of muslim women, presumably, in seriously expensive looking swim suits that more or less covered their entire body other than their face. They, like all Americans, were OBSESSED with the damned cell phones....my son, only 12 at the time, observed this and said to me "pick a century...am I right?????". I likened to have fell on the ground laughing....a 12 year old, flat footed and off the cuff, coming up with that line after seeing that.....

This is the same kid who, at 8 or so, told a group or French tourists at the Tower of London that he had a joke for them....we were listening to one of the Beefeaters explain what sort of weapons the Beefeaters had back in the day and my son told that group of Frenchmen that if they wanted a gun to buy one from the French military because it would have never been fired and had only been dropped once. Of course that is not an original BUT he was 8 or 9 at the time and fully understood why that line is funny. The Frenchmen did not find it humorous which only serves to prove the French use their sense of humour less than they do their military weapons...
