Before the start of a public school's varsity football game, a student delivered a Christian prayer over the school's public address system.  A Christian prayer was also read during graduation.  The school instituted a policy that made the prayer voluntary, rather than mandatory, and required that it be "nonsectarian, non-proselytizing" though it did allow references to specific religious figures.  The school used an election to determine which student would give the prayer.

Based on Santa Fe Independent School District v. Doe, 530 U.S. 290 (2000).
