I wouldn't want the teachers armed here, but I do think it is time to have every entrance with video cameras along with the parking lot, etc., so if someone strange approaches the school, the school gets locked down automatically including classrooms and the police immediately notified.
I think surveillance cameras are a must today at the schools with someone monitoring them while school is in session.
I believe that the Amish feel it would make one too prideful.
It's because they feel children will be working on the family farms after that age and the kids are definitely not encouraged to pursue "fancy" (worldly)lifestyles. I'm from Amish/Mennonite country in N. Indiana and know them well. Fine people.
Care to explain the tagline?

Drug problem hits Amish youth as well.

I recall the old Movie "Friendly Persuasion" with Gary Cooper..and it sounds like they are still living that way today..It's sweet.

In the old days that was the "tax system" in most of rural America.
As things have changed, the Amish, and others, have had to change.
There are monastic orders (Catholic and Orthodox and Buddhist) as well as communal groups like the Shakers, where landownership is in common.
Not sure "land in production" is let off the tax hook though. That's usually termed "unrelated business income" or UBIT in the tax laws.
They were Quakers in that movie
Really? I've been listening to FOX...I didn't hear that. Has that been confirmed?
Sorry, I didn't mean to send that via private mail.
