As much as I disagree with her choices of Religion or more correctly No Religion, she has the Freedom of choice and to not say the Pledge if that is her conviction. Its one side of the Freedom we enjoy here.

You are absolutely correct. If she doesn't want to have a religion, that's her choice as a citizen in the USA. The teacher was probably never more wrong in his life.

MSgt Dale Johnson IIRC the original SCOTUS case around this was brought by Jahova's Witnesses and it was, ironically enough, a religious freedom issue around making that sort of pledge.

Not having to stand for the pledge has been the law of the land for over 50 years, it's not like it should come as a surprise to anyone.

Awesome! Under god was omitted when i gave my oath of enlistment the handful of times in my 20 years of service. It should have never been added to our pledge in 1956.
