Pierce vs. Society of Sisters.
A Supreme Court Case dealing with the Compulsory Education Act passed in Oregon state, saying that all children had to attend Public school from the ages of 8 to 16 for the time that the school was open in their district and failure to do so will result in a misdemeanor.
The Society of Sisters was an organization dedicated to the private education of kids in Oregon and members of the Roman Catholic Church brought this to the Supreme Court. They argued that parents should choose where their children will attend school based on mental and religious education.
The Supreme Court ruled against Oregon saying that their law violated the 14th amendment and the Due Process Clause. It violated the right parents and guardians had of upbringing their children in a way that they thought was best.
