I’m sure somebody has looked into West Virginia State Board of Education v. Barnette. The Pledge of Allegiance case, 319 US 624 (1943)

In his court opinion, Justice Robert Jackson offered this :

“If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, high or petty, can prescribe what shall be orthodox in politics, nationalism, religion, or other matters of opinion or force citizens to confess by word or act their faith therein. If there are any circumstances which permit an exception, they do not now occur to us.”

Robt. Jackson, a Franklin D. Roosevelt appointee and the Chief U. S. Prosecutor at the Nuremberg Trials.
