If we must imagine that Roe vs. Wade is somehow the "law of the land" just because SCOTUS says so. then a 1920s' SCOTUS case, Pearce vs. the Society of Sisters also is the "law of the land" and that 7-2 decision provided that the education of children is uniquely up to their parents so long as very basic education is provided (e.g. English, Math, History, a bit of Science) and according to parent-chosen curriculum.

That was a case in which the State of Oregon (briefly dominated by Ku Klux Klan politicians) tried to force ALL children into Klan dominated gummint skewels. That directly affected Catholic schools which the Klan despised but the SCOTUS went further to empower the parents themselves to decide and that would protect homeschooling.
