Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972) was the third of three significant Supreme Court cases, following Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) and Pierce v. Society of Sisters of the Holy Names of Jesus and Mary (1925), that upheld the Fourteenth Amendment right of parents to direct the education of their children. However, because states had been made subject to the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment in Cantwell v. Connecticut, in 1940, Yoder also raised a free exercise claim.
