"Today in Supreme Court History: November 7, 1922, Oregon enacts the Compulsory Education Act," which is then overturned by Pierce v. Society of Sisters.

What a crazy case which shows how things have changed.

The CEA eliminated the exception for attendees of private schools and required compulsory attendance at public schools (which today is a leftist issue) was sponsored by the Oregon KKK back then (the KKK being anti-Catholic and Oregon having an overwhelming Protestant population in the 1920s).
