Opting Out of Education: Yoder, Mozert, and the Autonomy of Children.

Examines the legal reasoning behind the Yoder and Mozert court cases, which objected to mandatory secondary education and to a required reading series, respectively, discussing why one was granted and the other rejected; asserting that the two cases are essentially similar, turning on the notion of mere exposure as harm; and discussing how the courts might best incorporate the voices of children into legal proceedings concerning their educational futures.
