The case you are discussing does not apply to the principles being
discussed. Do try to separate the two.
This is a true statement and has been upheld by the Supreme Court:
"The Constitution guarantees us freedom of religion, and equal
protection under the law. Any access allowed on public property to
secular use, such as a booster banquet, must extend on an equal basis
to religion."
What was done in the case that started this discussion does not, AFAIK
meet those parameters
