Statement on parental rights and the free exercise of religion : November 15, 1971	1972		.txt	text/plain	786	30	53	The fundamental right of parents to edu- cate their children in non-public schools is guaranteed by our Constitution and was recognized a half century ago in the Pierce case, wherein the Supreme Court said: The child is not the mere creature of the State. Govern- ment should not tip the economic scales so heavily in favor of the public schools that parents can exercise their right to choose non-public schools only with severe personal sacrifice.	cache/_005195821.txt	txt/_005195821.txt
