Seventh Circuit -- John Doe v. Elmbrook School Dist

Public school's rental of church building for graduation, etc does not offend the Establishment Clause.

Not moot despite construction of school fieldhouse.

Plaintiffs' interest in privacy justifies the anonymous suit.

Encountering Christian symbols during the events was not unduly coercive.

Entering a house of worhip is not an inherently religious act.

No endorsement/entanglement under Lemon.

Dissent: Endorsement, what with all the pamphlets & iconography about.
