Abstract

The article argues how states should not allow philosophical exemptions and should either retain or create religious exemptions that meet certain requirements under the Free Exercise Clause, the Due Process Clause, and the Establishment Clause. It reports the U.S. Supreme Court's jurisprudence regarding parental rights in cases 'Jacobson v. Massachusetts' and 'Zucht v. King.'
