The evidence showed that the Amish provide continuing informal vocational education to their children designed to prepare them for life in the rural Amish community. The evidence also showed that respondents sincerely believed that high school attendance was contrary to the Amish religion and way of life, and that they would endanger their own salvation and that of their children by complying with the law. The State Supreme Court sustained respondents' claim that application of the compulsory school attendance law to them violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the

web hosting domain names photo sharing Civil Liberties - Séance n°7 SUMMARY OF THE DECISION : Wisconsin v. Yoder case decided in 1972 by the U.S. SUPREME COURT , which held that Amish children could be exempted from compulsory school-attendance beyond the 8th grade; the Amish community's interest in maintaining a simple way of life, which it saw threatened by higher education, outweighed the state's interest in schooling through the 10th grade. The Court had not previously exempted religious groups from such laws, and it stressed that the 300-year Amish tradition was crucial to its decision. U.S. Supreme Court WISCONSIN v. YODER, 406 U.S. 205 (1972) Argued December 8, 1971 Decided May 15, 1972 Members of the Old Order Amish religion were convicted of violating Wisconsin's compulsory school-attendance law (which requires a child's school attendance until age 16) by declining to send their children to public or private school after they had graduated from the eighth grade. The evidence showed that the Amish provide continuing informal vocational education to their children designed to prepare them for life in the rural Amish community. The evidence also showed that respondents sincerely believed that high school attendance was contrary to the Amish religion and way of life and that they would endanger their own salvation and that of their children by complying with the law. The State Supreme Court agreed that application of the compulsory school-attendance law to the Amish violated their rights under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment, made applicable to the States by the Fourteenth Amendment.

When most people think about the Amish, automatically images of plain clothed men with long beards riding in a horse drawn buggy down major thoroughfares in Pennsylvania automatically come to mind. Most people know that the Amish seek to live a simple life: a life devoid of automobiles, dishwashers, electricity, and computers. However, other customs of the Amish are often time not understood, based predominantly on the fact that the Amish do not wish to often publicize their style of living.

Anna XXX Professor Cathy-Lee XXX Modern World Anthropology/ANTH300 Research Paper 6 December 2003 Rumspringa Introduction The Mennonite/Amish cultures have many traditions that separate them from the normal Christian faith. 400 years ago, many European Christians were killed and tortured for their belief in adult baptism. Adult baptism is referred to as Anabaptism, meaning “re-baptizer.” One Anabaptists belief is that members of the church should be baptized during adulthood rather than infancy (Robinson 2002). Amish adult baptism gives members of the church the freedom, and the adult conscious choice to find their faith through a tradition called Rumspringa. Rumspringa means “running around” in the Amish Dutch language. Once a child turns 16, they are free to experience the world from an American standard. This means they are allowed to use electricity, watch television, listen to music of their choice, and wear normal clothes. This also means they are allowed to drink, smoke, and sometimes use drugs and/or experience sexual relationships. Rumspringa can last from a week to several years. A child can make the decision at any time to rejoin, or not to rejoin, the Amish faith and community. If the child rejoins the faith, he must surrender the many pleasures that he was allowed during

Understanding Donation Home Understanding Donation Religion and Organ and Tissue Donation If you save one life, it is as though you save the world. What follows is an overview of the positions and statements of various religions with regard to organ and tissue donation and transplantation. Organ and tissue donation is viewed as an act of neighborly love and charity by these denominations. They encourage all members to support donation as a way of helping others. Amish The Amish will consent to transplantation if they believe it is for the well being of the transplant recipient. John Hostetler, world-renowned authority on Amish religion and professor of anthropology at Temple University in Philadelphia, says in his book, Amish Society, "The Amish believe that since God created the human body, it is God who heals. However, nothing in the Amish understanding of the Bible forbids them from using modern medical services, including surgery, hospitalization, dental work, anesthesia, blood transfusions or immunization." Assembly of God The Church has no official policy regarding organ and tissue donation. The decision to donate is left up to the individual. Donation is highly supported by the denomination.

35. Child Labor In The US It may be that the amish religion encourages or requires that children workalongside other members of the community, in order to instill in the children http://www.stopchildlabor.org/USchildlabor/amishletter.htm

CLC's Letter to Congress June 22, 2001 U.S. House of Representatives Washington, DC Dear Representative: It is with great concern that we write to you about efforts to weaken national safeguards to prevent occupational injuries among working youth. As you are aware, our child labor laws allow minors many opportunities for safe and appropriate employment. In tandem, our laws also prohibit minors under age 18 from employment in industries or with machinery that are hazardous, with high rates of occupational injuries. This year, we expect a bill to be reintroduced to amend the Fair Labor Standards Act to permit Amish youth as young as 14 years old to be employed inside and outside places of business where machinery is used to process wood products (106 th Congress: H.R. 221). This would allow minors to work in sawmills and woodworking establishments, both of which are prohibited for minors under age 18 in Hazardous Occupation Orders 4 and 5. Although the proposed amendment requires that minors not operate the machinery, it allows minors to work in proximity to equipment in operation, raising concerns about minors being injured by projectiles such as nails, boards, and other materials. Such concerns prompted the Congress in 1938 to prohibit minors from working in sawmills and in woodworking establishments.

Appellants, life-long members of the Faith Tabernacle [p. 17] Church, had relied on God to the exclusion of modern medicine to cure the boy's cancer. Justin's death sparked an inquiry. As a result of that investigation, appellants were tried and convicted by a jury on counts of involuntary manslaughter and endangering the welfare of a child.

Ct. 1051 (1982) held that, unless Congress provides otherwise, the tax imposed on employers to support the Social Security system must be uniformly applicable to all. BURGER, Chief Justice: We noted probable jurisdiction to determine whether imposition of social security taxes is unconstitutional as applied to persons who object on religious grounds to receipt of public insurance benefits and to payment of taxes to support public insurance funds. U.S. (1981). The District Court concluded that the Free Exercise Clause prohibits forced payment of social security taxes when payment of taxes and receipt of benefits violates the taxpayer's religion. We reverse. I Appellee, a member of the Old Order Amish, is a self-employed farmer and carpenter. From 1970 to 1977, appellee employed several other Amish to work on his farm and in his carpentry shop. He failed to file the quarterly social security tax returns required of employers, withhold social security tax from his employees or pay the employer's share of social security taxes. In 1978, the Internal Revenue Service assessed appellee in excess of $27,000 for unpaid employment taxes; he paid $91 the amount owed for the first quarter of 1973 and then sued in the United States District Court for the Western District of Pennsylvania for a refund, claiming that imposition of the social security taxes violated his First Amendment Free Exercise rights and those of his Amish employees.

Go back a page Go forward a page Let me take a few words to say why I feel so certain that the present Supreme Court will rule this way. In his short but very interesting and important book, THE NATURE OF THE JUDICIAL PROCESS, former Supreme Court Justice Benjamin Cardozo, explaining to law students (to whom these lectures were originally given) how judges arrive at their decisions, said that there were essentially four ways in which judges could and did look at cases. In the "Philosophical" approach they examine them in terms of basic legal principles, found perhaps in the Constitution itself, perhaps in the Anglo-Saxon Common Law from which the Constitution arose, perhaps in even older and more fundamental principles of right and justice. Such judges ask themselves, in effect, what is the right, the fair, the just thing to do in this case. Most people not familiar with the law, and not long ago I was certainly one of them, would have assumed as I did that all judges thought this way all the time. But for many and often very good reasons, this is not always so. Another way of looking at cases, called by Cardozo the "Historical" approach, is to ask what the law itself has said about similar cases over the years. Historically-minded judges want to preserve, as far as they can, the unity and internal consistency of the law, so that as far as possible people will be able to predict, from what the courts have said in the past, what they will be likely to say in the future. In making their rulings they cannot to some degree avoid making new law, but they want this new law to disturb the existing body of law as little as possible. If the law must change, as it cannot avoid changing, to take account of new problems and conditions, they prefer it to change by gradual steps, not by sudden announcements of new positions or sudden reversals of old ones. In this frame of mind judges are much influenced by precedents, which tend to make the law predictable.
