Nolan Harrison Parker wrote a new blog post The Amish and Community in the group American Studies: 6 years ago

I think I’m talking about the Amish. Something about how I don’t know how I feel about them. I don’t know if it’s fair to bring someone into that lifestyle without their consent. This might sound like a familia […]
