This Supreme Court case (268 U.S. 510(1925), was named for Walter Pierce, governor of Oregon and a group of nuns who ran a private school. The case challenged a 1922 Oregon law that required most students not home schooled to attend public schools from age 8 to 16 or until graduating from 8th grade.
The sisters won their case in Oregon district court; the supreme court case was due to appeal by the state of Oregon.
The decision lead to the beginning of broadening of protection of rights under the 14th amendment. The sisters argued that the law caused enrollment in their school to decline violating contracts they had made to provide education.
