that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox
in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or
force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there
are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur
to us."

"The right of freedom of thought and of religion as guaranteed by the

give evidence in court."
--- Justice Murphy, in concurrance, West Virginia State Board of
Education v. Barnette 319 U.S. 624 No. 591
