Cinderella, the Horse God and the Wizard of Oz: Mozert v. Hawkins County Public Schools.
Breyer, Hugh J.
Journal of Law and Education, v20 n1 p63-93 Win 1991
In "Mozert," fundamentalist parents claim that the reading curriculum interfered with their right to transmit religious values to their children. The district court fashioned an excusal scheme; however, the Sixth Circuit reversed this decision. Reviews the facts, analyzes points of law left unresolved, and discusses the broader implications for American education. (197 references) (MLF)
