Description:
The paper outlines the 1972 case of "Wisconsin v. Yoder", where the state charged parents and figures of leadership from within the Wisconsin Amish communities for failing to abide with the compulsory education standards for all youths living in the state.
The paper then looks at the 1971 "New York Times Co. v. United States" case where the New York Times pursued the First Amendment's granting of freedom to the press to report on matters impacting the public. Finally, the paper examines the 1919 case of "Schenck v. United States", where Schenck pursued the United States for its injunction on his right to express his political orientation in the printed context.

From the Paper:
"The first amendment guarantees the freedom of expression to all Americans, specifying the rights to our own belief systems, to our own religious ideologies and to the entitlement to express the positions and ideals related directly thereto. This is inherently strengthened by the reality that institutions, neither private nor public, are entitled to impose upon these beliefs through regulation, law, political pressure or any other mode that might deny one the entitlements of self-expression."This is the aspect of the amendment which is most directly at issue in the 1972 case of Wisconsin v. Yoder, which weighs the matter of the state's pursuit of charges against several parents and figures of leadership from within the Wisconsin Amish communities for failing to abide the compulsory education standards for all youths living in the state. The case which would ultimately find itself tried before the Supreme Court, would serve with respect to the question of religious freedom as it might contrast a specific state statute."
