Amish farmer seeks Supreme Court review over Kansas school law
LeRoy Garber of Yoder faces a conviction under Kansas compulsory attendance for not sending daughter Sharon to an accredited high school. The Kansas Supreme Court upheld the law as serving public interest. The ACLU appeals to the U.S. Supreme Court, arguing the rule violates religious freedom. The Amish, active in 19 states and Canada, educate per faith while Kansas requires attendance through age 16. Sharon was enrolled in a local vocational school after the community formed one.
