Human Rights Watch and the ACLU are concerned about the paddling that is still going on in some schools. The use of this cruel and inhumane punishment is apparently most prevalent way down South in the land of cotton, wouldn't you know. And what's worse, it is practiced more often with minority children.
You've got to envy all those white Yankee children, whose disciplinary problems are dealt with using the much more humane, civilized, and modern method of behavior management which consists of the administration of psychotropic drugs.
No word from Human Rights Watch and the ACLU on which will have the worse long term effect.

You are welcome to post at this blog. You are asked, however, to refrain from the following:
1. Name-calling;
2. Questioning the motives or integrity of people you have never met just because you disagree with them;
3. Using obscenities or other expressions not appropriate or necessary to civilized discussion;
4. Taking disagreement personally;
5. Demeaning or insulting remarks.
The host will attempt to abide by the same rules and only asks that you not provide him with the temptation to do so in return by violating them.
Failure to comply with these rules can result (depending solely on the arbitrary and inscrutable will of the host) in the deletion of offending posts and suspension of posting privileges. Such measures are more likely if you post anonymously.
