By the Supreme Court of Wisconsin
By the Supreme Court of Wisconsin.
The Supreme Court of Wisconsin, in 1874, went so far in maintenance of parental rights, that it gave to a father the right to decide for his son what branches of elementary studies embraced in the school curriculum he should not follow, against the will and decision of the teacher and the school committee. The Court based its judgment on these indefeasible parental rights embodied in the common law.
