SUPREME COURT CASE ROE V WADE

Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Paragraph 10:Today, education is perhaps the most important function of state and local governments. Compulsory school attendance laws and the great expenditures for education both demonstrate our recognition of the importance of education to our democratic society. It is required in the performance of our most basic public responsibilities, even service in the armed forces. It is the very foundation of good citizenship. Today it is a principal instrument in awakening the child to cultural values, in preparing him for later professional training, and in helping him to adjust normally to his environment. In these days, it is doubtful that any child may reasonably be expected to succeed in life if he is denied the opportunity of an education. Such an opportunity, where the state has undertaken to provide it, is a right which must be made available to all on equal terms.Paragraph 10 discusses an important issue that influenced the Court’s ruling. Which statement BEST sums up the Court’s thoughts on that issue?

Education has become an important American value, as evidenced by the fact that school attendance has been made compulsory for all children.
