The group was given brochures about the rights and responsibilities regarding prayer in school, [Principal]Sosky said, and was told numerous times it could meet for prayer but had to form a club with a staff adviser to do so. The participants also were assigned to meet in a room to not offend other students or interfere with their getting to class, and a teacher volunteered to be adviser, but the group continued to ignore the rules, she said.

Sounds like it was maximum of 12 students participating in the prayer group. Given that they were meeting before 7AM in the school cafeteria, it's hard to imagine how that could have been significantly blocking traffic. From what the prinicpal told reporters, it sounds as if the prayer aspect was the key issue, not the blocking traffic issue.

Agree, from other report I've read, the group petitioned to form a bible club-like prayer group but were denied.
