Amish dads going to prison for refusing to send their children to government schools. This happened to many Amish dads in several states over a four decade period. Many Amish families fled to South America to find academic and religious freedom. SCOTUS secured their freedom to bring kids home after eighth grade in Wisconsin v Yoder (1972).
A descendent of one of these dads is currently being harassed and tried for selling clean beef from his PA farm. Attorney Robert Barnes is representing him against the government.

America encourages its political allies in Europe to promote this revival of spirit, and the growing influence of patriotic European parties indeed gives cause for great optimism. Our goal should be to help Europe correct its current trajectory.
