        Barbaric. And you wonder why men abuse their significant others.

        I got it as a kid too, had to go cut a switch. And if it wasn't springy enough I had to get a different one. They'll be fine

        In many cases, it would make more sense to paddle the parents.

        I used to get my ass beat regularly in school and it was great. One teacher made me grab my ankles when he paddled me and the paddle hit my nuts and that was NOT cool!

        I can't believe we still allow corporal punishment in any school. In any state.

        Nobody was allowed to hit my kids, told the school(s) that upfront. You have a problem, I will deal with it. Grrrr

        Kid walk out of school the other day? Did you discipline him? One of the issues with parents and schools today. No respect for teachers.

        This isn't '72 anymore!!! They were born/raised in AMERICA, right??? Why should they get punished for EXECUTING THEIR BASIC HUMAN RIGHTS??? These kids act more like adults than MOST of the adults in their lives. That's absolutely absurd and just all out BULL. #teensforguncontrol

        This is absurd! The difference between hitting and shooting is only a matter of degree. @ACLU

        Apparently it only is an issue if it is a semi- automatic paddle.
