After the Minersville school district vs. Gobitis case, many objections to the salute of our flag were presented and modifications were made in the state of West Virginia, but no concession was made to Jehovah's witnesses, and If one of them failed to conform, the punishment was expulsion and the child might have been proceeded against as a delinquent, meanwhile parents were reliable and if guilty subject to fine not exceeding $50 and jail term not exceeding 30 days. Barnette a Jehovah Witness brought the case to the West Virginia Supreme Court, which decided that West Virginia's School Boards act of the obligatory salute of the flag was unconstitutional; holding for Barnette.
