The governor said the city must “cancel the event and commit to never allowing something like it again.”
Gov. Greg Abbott’s office notified Grand Prairie Mayor Ron Jensen to cancel the “DFW Epic Eid Celebration,” a Muslim event to be held at the city-owned Epic Waters Indoor Water Park.
The Public Safety Office (PSO) sent the letter to Jensen on Wednesday regarding the event celebrating the major Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
The event’s host, Dr. Aminah Knight, originally advertised the event as being “Muslim only” before later changing the flyer.
