Would you have voted for the Oregon Compulsory Education Act?

Absolutely. This is easily one of the best pieces of legislation ever passed by a state in US history, even if the courts struck it down. I'm actually amazed any state actually did ever propose to completely abolish private schools, I always assumed that was just a far out dream of mine.

People in the northern parts of the United States tend to have an authoritarian streak.

Bad law, worse court ruling.

What is wrong with the court ruling?

Not at all, I probably would like Irish immigrants in the 20s actually since they were the biggest opponents of Prohibition and responsible for providing me with a lot of my alcohol, and the KKK were in favor of it. I would've voted for Al Smith in 1928 because of that.

It was all a package deal, prohibition, outlaw public schools, direct election of senators, confiscation of property through the income tax, eugenics.
