Abstract
In America’s ongoing discussions regarding religious liberty, situations such as the conflict over New York’s yeshivas demonstrate how grave the stakes can be. Meyer and Pierce advanced the freedom of parents to educate children according to their faith and traditions, but as they relied on substantive due process, they do not offer a firm foundation upon which to build a legal case defending parents who want to enroll their children in yeshivas or similar faith-based schools. Fortunately, recent developments in First Amendment jurisprudence offer a much firmer foundation.
