Event description:
Join us at New York Society for Ethical Culture for an evening talk and discussion, “Making Education a Federal Right for All Children,” by Torah Bontrager. This event is part of Formerly Fundamentalist NYC’s monthly Thursday talks.
Torah, born and raised traditional Amish, will read excerpts from her memoir, An Amish Girl in Manhattan, that bring to life her Amish school experiences. She’ll also talk about how the 1972 Supreme Court case Wisconsin v. Yoder enables child abuse and what her nonprofit Amish Heritage Foundation is doing to overturn Yoder.
