I came across an interesting case where a small unaccredited school defeats the Texas Department of Education in court, defeating its diploma mill legislation.
http://www.supreme.courts.state.tx.us/hi...030995.htm
The Supreme Court rules that the State of Texas has no control over the curriculum content of religious schools, the use of the word "Seminary", or the usage of the term "diploma".
The northern state of Wyoming has recently passed laws forcing religious schools in the state to get accredited. But how could a state force a religious school to get accredited or do anything with its curriculum without violating the Free Exercise guarantees of the First Amendment, similar to what happened in this case?
