• W2480877441 abstract "The Yoder Case recounts how the United States Supreme Court resolved the conflict between Wisconsin educational officials and Amish parents over that state's compulsory education law. In telling that story, the author assesses the lasting impact of this episode on the Amish and on U.S. constitutional law. The text of the book is a concise 180 pages, including the introduction. It also contains an editor's preface and a three-page chronology followed by an informative bibliographical essay at the end. The controversy began during the mid to late 1960s when Wisconsin school officials insisted that Amish school-age children, ages 7-16, like all other such children living in Green County's New Glarus School District, attend state-approved educational institutions and conform to curriculum requirements without exception for their religious practices and despite their parents' objections. Such requirements posed a threat to the Amish because they forced Amish children to accept values and a worldview that were in direct conflict with those that their parents and church tried to instill. Physical education classes, for example, posed an immediate concern for the parents because school officials mandated that the children wear uniforms that conflicted directly with the church's teaching regarding modest dress. Initially, Amish leaders and supporters attempted to settle the matter by persuading the Wisconsin legislature to exempt Amish children who had completed the eighth grade from the compulsory school attendance law. That effort failed, in part, because of the opposition of Wisconsin school officials. When that happened, Amish parents refused to permit their children to attend school as the law required, and on October 23, 1968, Wisconsin charged three of the resisting parents--Wallace Miller, Adin Yutzy and Jonas Yoder--with violation of the compulsory school attendance statute. Peters takes care to let the reader know that, like all major constitutional law cases, the outcome of Yoder v. Wisconsin had potentially far-reaching implications for groups other than the New Glarus Amish. For example, Amish in parts of Iowa, Kansas, Ohio and Pennsylvania also found themselves under attack by state truancy officials for violating school attendance laws. Indeed, some of the members of the Amish community of New Glarus had recently migrated there from Iowa in order to gain a respite from the problem. Furthermore, non-Amish religious groups, such as fundamentalist evangelicals, increasingly objected to compulsory school attendance laws because the state-sponsored education they received pursuant to those laws exposed their children to secular humanist values that conflicted with their Christian beliefs. Peters also makes it clear that the Amishmen's vindication was by no means certain as the case began. In fact each of them received a conviction in the trial court. By the end of the 1960s no reasonable person could seriously question a state's power to set minimum educational standards for its citizens. In an earlier era, the U.S. Supreme Court had said in Pierce v. Society of Sisters that Oregon could not force parents to send their children to public schools if the parents desired to send them to parochial ones; but there was no doubt that Oregon could force parents to send them to school through the enforcement of its truancy laws. Moreover, even though the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution had become applicable to the states by way of the Due Process Clause of the 14th Amendment, the U.S. Supreme Court had rendered decisions that indicated that enforcement of Wisconsin's school attendance laws against the Amish could very well be constitutionally acceptable. In Braunfeld v. Brown, for example, the court refused to strike down Pennsylvania's law that prohibited Orthodox Jews from conducting their businesses on Sunday even though the defendants argued that their religion required them not to work on Saturday rather than on Sunday and that the effect of the law was to punish them for exercising their religion. …" @default.
