may 15, 1972 - Wisconsin v. Yoder

Description:

Decision: Yoder was able to keep his children out of school due to their religion because their first amendment rights outweighed the state's laws.

Impact: Some religious acts outweigh state laws because the first amendment free exercise clause applies to states as well.

QUESTION: If there was a larger Amish population, do you think that this ruling would still be the same?
