The court filing says of the 150 cops who attended the event, only one stayed for the prayer service. Seems like it really was a "come and go" atmosphere.
Yeah. I get that. I'm just reasonably sure that they wouldn't have done the same for an event at a Baptist church that had a sermon in the middle.

Could a Baptist church provide a banquet for public school students even if they promised to be totally secular? Doubtful.

For more than 23 years TPD had engaged in community policing, in which it
participated in events to build trust with the local community. As part of that mission,
TPD accepted requests to attend about 3,500 community events between 2004 and 2011.
Some 327 of those events were at religious venues or institutions affiliated with religious
faiths, and between 2009 and 2011 there were an additional 25 meetings attended by
community-education officers at religious venues or sponsored by religious
organizations.
