The case arises from a 1995 complaint in the Santa Fe school district near Galveston against the local school board's decision to allow students to read any message or "invocation" over the PA system at halftime. A Federal judge ruled that such messages and prayers could go on - if they were "nonsectarian and nonproselytizing."
