Yea, like the Amish they come in a decent variety. I'm in the dairy industry, so I do get to interact with them from time to time. Some of them are more 'normal' while some of them are even stricter than some of the Amish. Either way you split it, though, they're hardly the most inclusive and forward thinking people. They hold very strong to their beliefs and nonviolence is one of the core beliefs of theirs. So, in that respect, this news isn't surprising at all. What's most surprising is that they have a college to begin with...
You know what's funny...we all tend to view Mennonites and Amish as strange thinkers but at the same time, they're very devout and they practice what they preach. I don't agree with many of their ways but I can certainly appreciate that they stick to their beliefs. I don't view the anthem as "violent" but respect that they do so I'll not fault them for what they do on their campus as long as it hurts no one.
