    "No Child is a Mere Creature of the State": Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925): 100 Years

    Marriott Marquis ⁄ New York City, NY

    Join us for a panel discussion at the Forum on Faith as we commemorate the centennial anniversary of the landmark case, Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925). This pivotal Supreme Court decision recognized the fundamental right of parents to direct the upbringing and education of their children rooted in their duty to bring up their children properly and educate them well. Our panel of legal experts will delve into the historical context of the case, exploring its implications for today for Americans of all faiths. They will discuss how this ruling has influenced subsequent legal decisions and continues to resonate in today's conversations around school choice, Big Tech, religious liberty, and the supportive and subsidiary role of the state in education. The panel includes constitutional scholars, education law attorneys, and advocates for religious freedom. See the speakers.

    Attendees will have the opportunity to engage in a Q&A session, fostering a dynamic dialogue about the intersections of faith, law, and education. This event is sponsored by the Bruderhof, an Anabaptist community movement that has stood for excellence and independence in education for more than a century and operates schools in the United States, Europe and Australia. Don't miss this chance to reflect on a case that not only marked a turning point in legal history but remains bedrock for parental rights in the upbringing, moral formation and overall well-being of their children.
