  • Summary

    Multiculturalism gives preference to group rights over individual rights. This may challenge democratic values. This chapter focuses on the Amish denial of education from their adolescents. Criticizing Wisconsin v. Yoder (1972), the analysis focuses on the power of the Amish community over its members. The main questions are: Is it reasonable to deny the Amish adolescents’ standard American education? What are the limits of state interference in norms of illiberal communities who invoke separatism as a mechanism of cultural and religious preservation? It questions the extent that the discussed court ruling has suggested reasonable compromises to accommodate multiculturalism and outline the limits of state interference in practices of illiberal communities that deny basic rights to children.
