Beyond Amish Forgiveness
Unpacking the Amish Response to a Wisconsin Football Team’s Harassment
As high school was recently resuming in rural Wisconsin, nine football players spent an evening harassing Amish near LaValle (Old Order Amish-mainstream affiliation, see Table 1 in Petrovich 2017). The football players blew air horns, knocked on doors and windows, and caused minor damage. Amish residents, responding as many of us would, contacted local deputies who subsequently caught up with
the youth.
