Lawsuits against See You At The Pole

I came across this statement on the ADF's blog about See You At The Pole 
events, which are coming up in a couple days:

"Considering the decline in the moral values of America’s youth, teen 
pregnancy, and school violence, SYATP is seen by many as a refreshing 
and much needed injection of religion and faith in an increasingly dark 
sector of our society. To others, however, this annual event violates 
the separation of church and state and should be prohibited, thereby 
setting up a constitutional showdown in our public schools."

But I'm not aware of any lawsuit ever being filed that claims that this 
event is unconstitutional. The Rutherford Institute refers to a few 
incidents where schools have refused to allow the event to be promoted 
over the PA system and such, but no suits actually challenging the 
constitutionality of the event. Does anyone know what they're referring 
to? If there have been such lawsuits filed, or even such opposition 
stated, I'd like to see documentation of it.
