I understand, but the Amish are not going to teach their children to confront violence with violence. It ain't gonna happen.
There is a difference between violence and defense. We'll see.
I was in no way stating that the children should have confronted the shooter...I believe, however, that schools should have adults prepared to do so. I know that the Amish are against war but I can't believe that they are willing to sit by while their children are slaughtered.
They don't drive cars or fly in airplanes but they didn't object to their use today when it meant saving lives.
