Descrizione:
A case of the Amish violating a Wisconsin mandatory schooling law when the withdrew their children from school.
Question: Did Wisconsin's requirement that all parents send their children to school at least until age 16 violate the First Amendment by criminalizing the conduct of parents who refused to send their children to school for religious reasons?
The court upheld the law but made an exception for the Amish. It held that individual's interests in the free exercise of religion under the First Amendment outweighed the State's interests in compelling school attendance beyond the eighth grade.
