Parochial Schools Upheld By Court In Oregon Case
The Oregon Supreme Court upheld private and parochial schools against a 1920s public school law aimed at forcing attendance in public institutions. Justices ruled the act infringed parental rights and the liberty of private educational contracts, noting local conditions and state duties to provide education. The decision framed education as a public welfare issue but protected private school rights within constitutional bounds.
