amish exception

Amish exception. An exemption of the Amish from compulsory-school-attendance laws under the Free Exercise Clause of the First Amendment. • In Wisconsin v. Yoder, 406 U.S. 205, 92 S.Ct. 1526 (1972), the Supreme Court held that Amish children could not be compelled to attend high school even though they were within the age range of the state’s compulsory-attendance law. The Court has very narrowly construed the Amish exception and has refused to extend it to non-Amish children. See COMPULSORY-ATTENDANCE LAW; FREE EXERCISE CLAUSE.
