As Meyer lectured,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/webcache.googleusercontent.com\/search?q=cache:frMCa8HaOWQJ:https:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/news\/volokh-conspiracy\/wp\/2016\/02\/04\/meyer-v-nebraska-as-told-by-the-lawyer-who-won-it\/+&amp;cd=6&amp;hl=en&amp;ct=clnk&amp;gl=us\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he noticed a shadow pass<\/a>\u00a0by the sunlight doorway. It was the county attorney, who was investigating whether or not Meyer violated a new state law that prohibited the teaching of foreign languages to students who hadn\u2019t passed the eighth grade.<\/p>\n<p>For continuing to teach in German, Meyer was convicted and fined a full month\u2019s salary of $25 under state law. He appealed his conviction through the judicial system, eventually making his way to the U.S. Supreme Court. The ruling in\u00a0<em>Meyer v. State of Nebraska<\/em>\u00a0helped set a precedent, that the state could not interfere with people\u2019s choices in private matters, that would influence U.S. law for generations.<\/p>\n<p>The non-U.S. born population in Nebraska\u00a0peaked in the years\u00a0after the territory achieved statehood in 1867. Around that time, approximately a quarter of Nebraska residents were born in another country, many from Germany, Ireland, and Czechoslovakia seeking jobs as meatpackers, farmers, and railroad workers. Immigration\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.unomaha.edu\/college-of-arts-and-sciences\/ollas\/research\/immigrant-nebraska.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">stayed at high levels<\/a>\u00a0until the 1920s when laws like the Immigration Act of 1924 set restrictive quotas over how many people could enter the United States legally.<\/p>\n<p>At the time of Meyer\u2019s arrest, Germans were the largest cohort of immigrants in the state. Over one-fourth of the \u201cforeign-born white\u201d population in Nebraska were Germans,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.census.gov\/prod2\/decennial\/documents\/06229686v26-31.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to the 1920 Census<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/dp\/0700630457?tag=smithsonianco-20&amp;linkCode=ogi&amp;th=1&amp;psc=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rural Rebellion: How Nebraska Became a Republican Stronghold<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>In Rural Rebellion, Ross Benes explores Nebraska\u2019s shifting political landscape to better understand what\u2019s plaguing America.<\/p>\n<p>Born in the late 1870s, Meyer was 42 when he was arrested for teaching German. He wore\u00a0round-rimmed\u00a0glasses, parted his hair, and adopted a mustache that resembled a caterpillar. In the county where Meyer taught, German immigrants were\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www2.census.gov\/prod2\/decennial\/documents\/06229686v26-31.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">a sizable presence<\/a>\u00a0and Hampton, in particular, hosted a strong presence of German-Americans. The Lutheran church where Meyer worshipped\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nebraska.gov\/collections\/zion-lutheran-church-hampton-neb-rg4373am\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">was established by German settlers<\/a>\u00a0early on in Nebraska\u2019s statehood and it still conducted its business in German. For Meyer, teaching the language to his students was to pass on their cultural heritage; he approached his teaching occupation as if he\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/books.google.com\/books?id=nQiOUqLdUCcC&amp;pg=PT207&amp;lpg=PT207&amp;dq=%22I+have+the+same+duty+to+uphold+my+religion.+Teaching+the+children+the+religion+of+their+fathers+in+the+language+of+their+fathers+is+part+of+that+religion%22&amp;source=bl&amp;ots=FKycByo8Jp&amp;sig=ACfU3U32jSpmAw8nxo8ZdVqSq7A4qOfVkA&amp;hl=en&amp;sa=X&amp;ved=2ahUKEwiR0ZO4zIzuAhVNElkFHSqZAn4Q6AEwAHoECAIQAg#v=onepage&amp;q=%22I%20have%20the%20same%20duty%20to%20uphold%20my%20religion.%20Teaching%20the%20children%20the%20religion%20of%20their%20fathers%20in%20the%20language%20of%20their%20fathers%20is%20part%20of%20that%20religion%22&amp;f=false\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">were embarking<\/a>\u00a0on a religious vocation.<\/p>\n<p>Meyer was teaching in an era were anti-German sentiment was particularly high. Following U.S entry into the First World War, politicians, newspapers and ordinary citizens launched various\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.history.com\/news\/anti-german-sentiment-wwi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">attacks against German-Americans<\/a>. One way the discrimination against Germans manifested itself was in laws that prohibited foreign language instruction.<\/p>\n<p>In 1918, the National Education Association, a union for school teachers,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jstor.org\/stable\/pdf\/42826874.pdf?refreqid=excelsior%3A9eba8bf8034891c4eb8a6cbed15e2e70\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">denounced the practice<\/a>\u00a0of teaching \u201cin a foreign tongue to be un-American and unpatriotic.\u201d More than\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.unl.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1197&amp;context=historyfacpub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">20 state<\/a>s, ranging from California to Illinois,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.unl.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1197&amp;context=historyfacpub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">passed laws<\/a>\u00a0that enforced English instruction in schools in an effort to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.lutheranforum.com\/blog\/meyer-v-nebraska-a-lutheran-contribution-to-constitutional-law\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">squash the teaching<\/a>\u00a0of the enemy\u2019s German language. \u201cThe German language was singled out for prosecution because German Americans were the largest ethnic group in the United States and the German language therefore was taught more widely in non-public schools than was any other language, particularly because German Americans had such a large network of parochial schools,\u201d writes legal scholar William Ross in an email. \u201cIn other words, German language provided the largest target for the aggressive assimilationists.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nebraska\u2019s legislature repealed a law that required schools to offer foreign-language classes if more than 50 students requested them. Eliminating the foreign-language requirement was a victory for Nebraska\u2019s governor, who denounced it as being \u201cvicious, undemocratic, and un-American.\u201d A separate measure that required all children in the state to attend public schools, which would have prevented Lutherans from establishing their own schools and teaching German, failed by a single vote. The legislature succeeded, however, in passing an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nebraska.gov\/sites\/history.nebraska.gov\/files\/doc\/publications\/NH1958ForeignLanguage.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">act that prevented foreign languages from being taught<\/a>\u00a0to students who hadn\u2019t passed the eighth grade. Historian\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nebraska.gov\/sites\/history.nebraska.gov\/files\/doc\/publications\/NH1958ForeignLanguage.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Jack Rodgers wrote<\/a>\u00a0decades later that Nebraska lawmakers were acting as \u201cself-appointed conservators of American patriotism behind a program of repressing the use of the German language\u201d when they worked to pass anti-foreign language legislation.<\/p>\n<p>Meyer\u2019s lawyer Arthur Mullen, a powerful Catholic Democrat and Nebraska campaign manager for perennial presidential candidate William Jennings Bryan,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nebraska.gov\/sites\/history.nebraska.gov\/files\/doc\/publications\/NH1969LanguageLaws.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">called the law \u201cintolerant\u201d and argued that it<\/a>\u00a0\u201cgrew out of the hatred, national bigotry and racial prejudice engendered by World War.\u201d Those who violated the law and taught foreign languages to youngsters could receive up to 30 days in jail. \u201cIf these people are Americans, let them speak our language,\u201d\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/history.nebraska.gov\/sites\/history.nebraska.gov\/files\/doc\/publications\/NH1958ForeignLanguage.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">one legislator said at the time<\/a>. \u201cIf they don\u2019t know it, let them learn it.

The council supported the legislature\u2019s campaign to halt the teaching foreign of languages and it\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/digitalcommons.unl.edu\/cgi\/viewcontent.cgi?article=1197&amp;context=historyfacpub\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pressured churches to eliminate foreign languages<\/a>\u00a0from their worship services even though many parishioners were immigrants who could not speak English. One Lutheran minister was rebuked by local leaders for giving a speech in German at a soldier\u2019s funeral. At the Zion Lutheran school near Hampton, vandals shot out the windows and destroyed the school\u2019s German books in protest of the German lessons being taught there.<\/p>\n<p>It was soon after this attack when Meyer, an instructor at Zion, was charged for violating the new law. Among Meyer\u2019s many detractors included the American Legion.

State of Nebraska<\/em>. Associate Justice James Clark McReynolds delivered the opinion: \u201cNo emergency has arisen which renders knowledge by a child of some language other than English so clearly harmful as to justify its inhibition with the consequent infringement of rights long freely enjoyed. We are constrained to conclude that the statute as applied is arbitrary and without reasonable relation to any end within the competency of the state.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the ruling in the Meyer case, Nebraska\u2019s state constitution still features a provision stating that English is the state\u2019s official language and must be used as the language of instruction in schools.

The Supreme Court\u2019s\u00a0<em>Meyer<\/em>\u00a0decision helped create the legal right to privacy that was later cited in numerous court cases, such as the\u00a0<em><a href=\"https:\/\/supreme.justia.com\/cases\/federal\/us\/381\/479\/#tab-opinion-1945663\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Griswold v.
