Lawsuits against See You At The Pole

[Douglas Laycock]

  I think there was a lawsuit in Corpus Christi, or somewhere in
south Texas, in the early years of See You at the Pole Events.  I'll
ask the lawyer who I think I remember handling it -- but not
tonight.  He's got an oral argument tomorrow.

  Quoting Ed Brayton <stcynic at crystalauto.com>:

> 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

a
> few incidents where schools have refused to allow the event to be

even
