  "account": "Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport has canceled its plans to install additional foot-washing stations for Muslim travelers. The airport had been evaluating the proposal internally before deciding to abandon the project. The decision came after Governor Greg Abbott initiated a review of airport funding and expressed concerns that dedicated ablution facilities might constitute religious discrimination. Abbott also requested a federal investigation into the facilities at Houston's George Bush Intercontinental Airport.",
