The Facts of Wisconsin v. Yoder:
 Wisconsin has a law which makes it mandatory (required) for all children to attend school up until the age of 16. An Amish father does not want his children to attend school even though they are only 14 and 15 years old. He argues that the Amish informally educate their children through farming and other rural activities. Yoder argued that compulsory high school education was at odds with his religious beliefs.
