Some would be wrong. Your allegation is they simply ignored the law to be activists. The 9th Cir. didn't ignore the law.

It will be interesting to see what happens in Texas now that the legislature passed a similar addition to the Texas Pledge, which is similarly required to be recited with the Pledge of Allegiance in classrooms.
It will depend if someone challenges it; absent a challenge it won't be tested.
