	Wright v. Houston I.S.D. (District Court)
		The trial court found unconvincing the students' argument that the school district was violating the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment, and the court dismissed the students' complaint.
		Students of Houston Independent School District sued for an injunction to block the district from teaching the theory of evolution as part of its curriculum and from adopting textbooks that taught evolution, on the ground that these actions inhibited them in the free exercise of their religion and constituted an establishment of religion.
		Plaintiffs' principal contention is that the teaching of the theory of evolution in the Houston Independent School District inhibits Plaintiffs in the free exercise of their religion and constitutes an "establishment of religion," in contravention of the first amendment to the United States Constitution.

	HOUSTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT
		The Houston Independent School District is the largest district in Texas and the seventh largest in the United States.
		School districts serve a vital role in providing outreach, coordinating, referral services, and, in some cases, the delivery of basic health and medical services to students with disabilities and other special needs.
		School districts can make a significant difference in the delivery of health, medical and mental care, and they should be given the opportunity to be a part of the Medicaid system to acculturate children and families in being better health care consumers.

	Wright v. Houston I.S.D. (Fifth Circuit)
		In this 42 U.S.C.A. § 1983 case, plaintiffs seek to enjoin the Houston Independent School District and the Texas State Board of Education from teaching the theory of evolution, without teaching the other theories regarding human origin.
		Plaintiffs contend that including the study of evolution in the school's curriculum constitutes the establishment of a sectarian, atheistic religion and inhibits the free exercise of their own religion in violation of the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States.
		To require the teaching of every theory of human origin, as alternatively suggested by plaintiffs, would be an unwarranted intrusion into the authority of public school systems to control the academic curriculum.
