Semi, Re: "one of "The Basic Principles" that the US was founded on, was Not on the "Principle" of Religion, but actually on the PRINCIPLE of Religious FREEDOM, and I thought that also included the Freedom of No Religion."

Correct, but when one person decides to prevent a school full of children from reciting the Pledge of Allegiance, that person is impugning on the FREEDOM of those children to recite a passage of historical importance. The Pledge does not affirm one's allegiance to God, but to the Flag of the United States of America. It is always someone's Free Choice not to say the Pledge, but when that person tries to make it ILLEGAL by claiming a separation of Church and State, then that infringes on the RIGHTS of others who regard the Pledge for other reasons. That's what this is all about. Bringing religion into the argument is just to cause controversy. It's not about religion, but rather hypocrisy.

It's easy to play the Victim, but it should be obvious to anyone that the real victims are those people whose RIGHT to recite the Pledge had been REVOKED by the two California "Justices".
