In Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925), the Supreme Court ruled that an Oregon law requiring children to attend public schools violated the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment. The Court held that the law unjustly interfered with the rights of parents to choose private education for their children. This decision affirmed the importance of parental rights in educational choices and limited the state's power in regulating education. Ultimately, it recognized the role of private schools in providing educational options alongside public institutions.
