Southern Methodist University has canceled an "Unapologetically Muslim" youth conference organized by CAIR-Texas that was scheduled to bring high school and college students to its Dallas campus, citing Texas’ designation of the Council on American-Islamic Relations as a "foreign terrorist" organization.The Sept.19 conference was advertised as a day of leadership and civic engagement training featuring "interactive sessions," "mock testimony" and "power mapping," a community-organizing technique aimed at identifying and influencing people with decision-making power.The event page on the website for CAIR-Texas says that the event is "designed for high school students and rising college freshmen and sophomores" and that "students will hear from community leaders and professionals, take part in interactive workshops, and learn how they can get more involved in the issues affecting their communities."BACKLASH ERUPTS OVER VIRAL VIDEO OF CAIR LEADER AS NEWSOM FUNDING DRAWS SCRUTINYA student walks on the Southern Methodist University (SMU) campus on Jan.
