Yes: It is freedom of religion, not freedom from religion
No- all religious symbols and clothing should not be allowed in public schools
only banana symbols should be allowed

It DOES mean freedom from religion.

But "freedom from religion" doesn't mean freedom from exposure to those who happen to be religious: it means freedom from having a religion imposed on us.

Consider the phrase "freedom from Communism". If I was a communist and declared that nobody is entitled to freedom from communism, I suspect many people would "get their panties in a bunch" over it.

It's fairly clear that this was not an "innocent expression of religious faith". But it would have been preferable if this woman hadn't been nailed on a technicality, but for the real reason.

I certainly wouldnt want anyone pushing their religious beliefs on my children...

I see it as a "preemptive strike" . She had a history of doing it after all...
