    El artículo sostiene que la defensa liberal de la educación escolar es incompatible con las demandas para excluir, excepcionalmente, a los niños de las exigencias de la escolaridad obligatoria. Como ocurrió en la excepción garantizada a lo Amish en Wisconsin v. Yoder. Se examinan los argumentos liberales políticos que consideran el valor de la educación exclusivamente como funcional a las exigencias de ciudadanía. Y se sostiene que, si bien ellos son importantes, son también insuficientes e inadecuados. El compromiso liberal con la educación debiese aceptar también su valor intrínseco como parte de una vida valiosa.

    The argument of this paper is that a liberal defence of school education is not compatible with demands for the exceptional exclusion of children from the exigiencies of compulsory schooling, such as the exception granted to the Amish in Wisconsin v. Yoder. The paper examines liberal political arguments which consider the value of education as purely functional to the citizens� role. It argues that whilst this is important, it remains insufficient and inadequate as well. Rather, the liberal compromise with education should also accept its intrinsic value as part of a valuable life.
