Here's a quote from the article at FoxNews:

"Although students cannot be forced to participate in recitation of the pledge, the school district is nonetheless conveying a message of state endorsement of a religious belief when it requires public school teachers to recite, and lead the recitation of, the current form of the pledge," the court said.

Have I misread something? It looks like the court decided it's unconstitutional for a teacher to "lead" the students in the pledge.

You obviously missed the part where the court ruled that no student may even utter the pledge under any circumstances in a school building.

Don't feel bad. I still can't find that part in the ruling, but it must be there because so many people are asserting it.
