Extractions: Date: 10-2-00 By Yenni Grow VOICE ONE: Most Americans like modern things. They drive cars. They use televisions, telephones and computers. But some Americans choose to live a simple life. I'm Shirley Griffith. VOICE TWO: And I'm Steve Ember. The Amish people of Pennsylvania is our report today on the VOA SPECIAL ENGLISH program THIS IS AMERICA. ((THEME)) VOICE ONE: There is farmland as far as the eye can see. Families live in simple farmhouses. Grain and other crops are stored in simple structures. Cows, horses and other farm animals are in the fields. Corn, soybeans, and peanut plants also grow in the fields. People wearing simple clothing are farming the crops. They are the Plain People the Amish, Mennonites and Hutterites. They live in Lancaster County in the eastern state of Pennsylvania. They also live in other parts of the country including the nearby state of Ohio. The Plain People of Lancaster County have not accepted modern ways. VOICE TWO: The most conservative group of Plain People is the Amish. About twenty-thousand Amish people live in Lancaster County. This area is also known as Pennsylvania Dutch Country. However, this is a mistake. The word Dutch describes people from the Netherlands. Many of the Amish came from Germany. So the word should be Deutsche or German.

On the basis of the religious beliefs of their parents, the amish children arewithout a hearing consigned to a life of ignoranceblissful as it may seem to

Extractions: In this case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court weighed the state's interest in educating children against the First Amendment guarantee of religious freedom. The Court held that a state law requiring children to attend school full time was unconstitutional because it infringed on the freedom of the Amish to practice their religion, reversing a Green County Circuit Court decision. In reaching this decision, the Court distinguished itself from courts around the country that had upheld compulsory education. The majority opinion was authored by Chief Justice E. Harold Hallows. Justice Connor T. Hansen concurred and was joined by Justices Horace W. Wilkie, Bruce F. Beilfuss and Robert W. Hansen. Justice Nathan S. Heffernan dissented. The case was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which affirmed the state Supreme Court's ruling in a 6-1 decision authored by Chief Justice Warren E. Burger. Justice William O. Douglas dissented in part from the majority. Justices William H. Rehnquist and Lewis F. Powell, Jr. did not take part in the case. In this case, the Wisconsin Supreme Court held that Amish parents could remove their children from public schools after the 8th grade as an exercise of their right to religious freedom. The Amish separate themselves from modern society and provide their children with their own system of education structured in accord with their beliefs. The appellants were the parents of three teenagers who had attended the New Glarus public schools. The parents were fined for refusing to enroll the children in the high school in the fall of 1968. This was in violation of the compulsory school law.
