Panel 5: The Practical Consequences of Pierce

This panel will explore Pierce’s practical consequences. How has the opinion supported or undermined home schooling, Hasidic education, especially Orthodox yeshivas, religious charter schools, and school choice in urban communities? What evidence exists about educational quality given the policies that developed because of the opinion and its consequences? And do we have a better understanding of when and how compelled education amounts to governmental indoctrination, and what does indoctrination look like today?

Moderator: Judge Susan P. Graber, U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit
