Constitutional Question: Did Wisconsin’s compulsory school attendance law, which required children to attend school until age 16, violate the Free exercise Clause of the First Amendment when applied to Amish parents who wished to withdraw their children after 8th grade for religious reasons?
Slidkalniņš: 3
In the state of Wisconsin children the age 16 are required to attend school
Slidkalniņš: 4
It is against the free exercise clause in the First Amendment to force my children to attend high school when it is against the religion I practice
Slidkalniņš: 6
Judiciary branch effect: The Supreme Court struck down the application of the state law.
Slidkalniņš: 7
State Executive branch effect: School officials and administrators were affected because they could no longer enforce attendance laws on the Amish in the same way.
State Governments Affected: Primarily Wisconsin, but the ruling also affected all states with compulsory education laws since it set a nationwide constitutional precedent about limits on such laws when they burden sincere religious beliefs.
Slidkalniņš: 8
Court Ruling: The Supreme Court ruled 7–0 in favor of Yoder (with two justices not participating). Wisconsin’s compulsory school attendance law violated the Amish families’ First Amendment right to free exercise of religion. The Court said that the Amish had a long, sincere religious tradition of limiting schooling after 8th grade, and that forcing attendance would significantly harm their religious way of life.
Slidkalniņš: 9
Under my Amish belief I don't think it is necessary for my children to attend school past 8th grade
Slidkalniņš: 10
Also In the 14th amendment the due process clause makes the 1st amendment apply at the state level
Slidkalniņš: 12
Legislative Branch Effect: The ruling limited state legislatures' ability to create compulsory education laws that burden religious practices.
