I'm sure it will be over turned soon. Precident and clear readings of the US constitution don't matter much nowadays.

And we (the US) do it for soooo many public events for no reason! I was running in a marathon in Arkansas once where the host said that if anyone kneels during the anthem he will come and make them stand up. I just walked out after this and came back when the race started. There is only one reason: jingoism.

The irony is it was ruled based on freedom of religion, primarily.
