Drugs over Discipline

A report from the University of Kentucky says:
Antipsychotic drugs given to poor children under Kentucky's Medicaid program jumped 270 percent from 2000 to 2010, according to a report prepared by the University of Kentucky's Center for Business and Economic Research.
Poor children are being drugged at an increasingly alarming rate. And that's why we need to ... stop corporal discipline.

  1. Wait. Corporal Punishment is legal in Kentucky? I never would have known it from the school I went to.

    The way to avoid corporal punishment is simple...refuse any promotion above Private First Class.

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.
