"Texas Governor Greg Abbott and Attorney General Ken Paxton were spreading "hateful misinformation" regarding proposals for a new Islamic themed settlement in the state, the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the largest Muslim advocacy group in the United States, told Newsweek."
The First Amendment's prohibition on establishments of religion applies to all governments, even in very abstract cases such as aid to private religious schools. Even ignoring the establishment of religion question, a city that had any clearly stated religious or ethnic them would certainly be considered to create a discomfort for people not members of that group. Does anyone doubt that the ACLU would sue to stop establishment of a white-themed or Jewish-themed city as violating antidiscrimination laws?
