Part 4: Briefing a case background Below I have copied the background reading for a Supreme Court case. Your task is basically to write the first part of a case brief which is the background of the case, identifying the specific case + controversy. As with your case brief assignment, you must limit your response to five or fewer standard length sentences. ~ ~ ~  Ohio v. Lantz (1978) Facts: Like many states, Ohio had an education law requiring that children attend public or private schools until the age of sixteen. This law violated the norms of the Old Order Mennonites, who were among the first religious groups to arrive in the United States. The Mennonites avoid technology, including automobiles and electricity, and they do not permit their children to attend public school after the eighth grade, believing that they will be adversely exposed “to worldly influences in terms of attitudes, goals, and values contrary to their beliefs.” Instead, they prefer to educate their older children at home. For several decades prior to the 1970s, the Mennonites had many skirmishes with education officials over this issue. In response to this history of hostility, a group of professors, lawyers, and clergy formed the National Committee for Religious Freedom (NCRF) in 1967 to provide legal defense services for the Mennonites and other such religious groups. NCRF’s leaders included the general counsel of the American Jewish Committee, the dean of Boston University Law School, and the executive director of the Commission on Religious Liberty of the National Council of Churches. Among the suits for which NCRF provided legal assistance was one concerning a controversy that emanated from Glauser, Ohio, where the school district administrator brought criminal complaints against Thomas Lantz, Winston Mueller, and Hans Schutzy for removing their children from school after they had completed the eighth grade. The Lantz and Mueller families were part of the Old Order Mennonite community and Schutzy a member of the Conservative Amish Mennonite Church. The parents claimed that the compulsory attendance law violated their First and Fourteenth Amendment rights, but they were found guilty and each fined $50 by the county court. After being convicted in the lower courts, the Mennonite parents won their appeal at the Ohio Supreme Court. The state, however, requested that the decision be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court. Arguments: For the petitioner, State of Ohio Mandatory education laws have existed in the United States since colonial times, and the courts have consistently upheld their validity. Under Prince v. Massachusetts (1944), the state has a compelling interest in protecting a child from the disease of ignorance. Additionally, the child has a right to an education. Without a formal education, those Mennonites who choose to leave their community later in life will enter the secular world without the intellectual tools to survive. For the respondents, Thomas Lantz and the other Mennonite parents: Applying the compulsory education law to the Mennonites and their children interferes with their right to free exercise of religion. This dispute should be controlled by Sherbert v. Verner (1963), not Prince v. Massachusetts (1943). The Mennonites support education. The training their children receive at home is rigorous and appropriate for their agrarian lives. Exempting the Amish from the compulsory education law would not significantly interfere with the state’s realizing its educational policy goals. ~ ~ ~ Apply the case brief method used in this class to identify the case controversy and constitutional question in this case. As in the case brief assignment, limit your response to five or fewer standard length sentences.
