The US Department of Veterans Affairs is updating its GI Bill eligibility rules to provide 12 extra months of college benefits to some veterans. This change comes after a Supreme Court ruling last spring.

This tension has led to increased scrutiny of parental rights, with some arguing that the state should not interfere with a parent's ability to direct their child's education. The Supreme Court's recognition of parental rights in cases such as Meyer v. Nebraska (1923) and Pierce v. Society of Sisters (1925) has been cited as precedent for this argument. Melissa Moschella, a philosophy professor at the University of Notre Dame, notes that these cases established that parents have primary child-rearing authority, not the state.
