* West Virginia Board of Education v. Barnette
* United States Supreme Court decision
* Pledge of Allegiance - flag salute unconstitutional
* Johovah's Witnesses & public schools
The bottom of the front page has a banner heading: "Supreme Court Rules Flag Salute Not Compulsory"
Page 5 has a one column heading: "Children Need Not salute Flag" (see images).
This historic ruling stated that reciting the Pledge of Allegiance was not mandatory in schools, driven by a challenge by the Jehovah's Witnesses.
Complete with 44 pages, tabloid size, a little spine wear, generally nice.
