I ask the following question for edification   -- How does one square this
decision with the 4th Cir's willingness to permit the Wiccan woman to be
excluded from delivering prayers at city council meetings?  I'm blanking on
the name of the latter case, but it would seem that equality is at issue in
both cases, and the results would seem at first blush in conflict with each
other.  
 
And what position did CLS take on the Wiccan case, if any?

This is the case's second trip to the 4th Circuit, and once again the
court invalidates the Montgomery County School District's various
machinations to prevent the Good News Club access on equal terms to the
forum of take-home flyers given to the students.
