Fucking hell, how is this still legal in 45 other states???

We have a long way to go

What's wrong with physical punishment? My dad hit me and I turned out fine after just a decade of therapy.

The data available shows hitting kids does absolutely nothing to increase desired behaviors and in many cases is linked to increase in unwanted behaviors.

In schools? How is this even still an open question? I thought the debate had at least moved on to whether parents should be allowed to hurt their children, even in the US.

Wait, it was allowed up until now?

Heres my argument against hitting kids. Mississippi loves it, cant get enough of it. Every ailment of society is caused by kids not getting hit enough, and they wear their past of childhood violence as their biggest badge of honor. Hitting kids is how you get Mississippians.

The thumbnail made me think this was about hitting children with busses, glad to see that's already illegal

This is overreacting. I was beat as a child and I only need minimal therapy now.

Good job. Keep making conservatives actively confront their weird, inhumane, hateful bullshit on its face.

The gop is the party of hungry, beaten kids, sitting in understaffed schools, without schoolbooks, and distracted by construction noise from the publicly funded ten commandments statue going up near the school entrance between the active shooter drills. They sit there, nodding off and tired from working a double at the Tyson chichen slaughterhouse the night before.

And never forget, matt gaetz is sitting in the parking lot waiting to offer your kids a ride after school...

I was threatened with spanking once in the 9th grade.

I told the principal that it would take more than him to do it. He called my dad. Dad laughed in his face and told him to try me on. Then hung up.

I ended up with a week of ISS.

INB4: I know this sounds like a greentext. I've been telling this story for 20 fkin years.

We had "optional" corporal punishment.

You could choose swats with a paddle, or writing sentences over and over.

Most people took swats, but I just picked sentences and never did them. They'd double the amount a couple times and eventually stop asking for them.

But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats, it was no deterrent what so ever. Even knowing that there was an easy way out of the alternative, they'd just take swats and immediately forget it happened.

If anything it made behavior worse, because they could do whatever and then have a few seconds of discomfort later if and only if they were caught doing the bad thing.

Showing a picture of buses made me think they meant hitting them with vehicles lmao

Here's a crazy idea. Every time you wanna spank a kid, don't. Spank that kid's parents instead.

Go home, America. You're drunk.

It's CHILD ABUSE!

To not allow TEACHERS to SPANK KIDS! I'm a Republican trying to Protect The Children!

But but but . . . hitting solves problems!

Just ask the guy who invented it . . . Hitler.

(I'll show myself out)

So we're getting a throwback to 1973 news articles... Wait there were still places outside of backwards ass Pender County, NC that did this shit?

When is someone going to spank me for once?

I went to a small rural school for a year when I was in elementary. The music teacher head paddle he'd use when it was your birthday. Wanna know the really fucked up part about it all? His paddle has holes drilled into it.
