It took a mere 1 hour to seal the fate of American children who happened to be born into the wrong group of people.

One of the things I recommend that everyone listens to is the actual audio from the 1971 hearing. It’s only 1 hour and 3 minutes long. There were no other hearings. 

The audio of the 1971 Wisconsin v. Yoder hearing is spooky. The old technology from 50 years ago makes the sound of the voices crackle and echo, like an old-time radio murder mystery show during the golden days of network broadcasting before television.

I hope you listen to this audio of the 1971 Wisconsin v. Yoder hearing, and that it brings up the appropriate emotions of shock, anger, speechlessness, etc.
