Despite the usual blocking of religion found in [[atheistic]] public schools, See You at the Pole is permitted for several reasons. The Supreme Court's ruling in [[Abington Township School District v. Schempp]] prohibits school-sponsored prayer, but See You at the Pole is run and organized by students. In addition, the event takes place outside the school, the event is held before school begins (meaning it does not interfere with time devoted to education), and it has no financial cost for the school district (meaning that [[liberals]] cannot argue that tax money is being used to establish religion).
