Go to your favorite search engine and type "AP Springtown Texas" and read about how Springtown, TX enhanced its policy on CP in the school system.That article should appear in quite a few sources. Perhaps someone could make a link to that. CP (paddling) by adminstrators is allowed in 19 of the 50 states. By contrast fraternity hazing which often involves paddles is a crime in 44 states. Geographically, legal CP in the schools is for the most part confined to the hinterlands in the South East and South Central states. Of the 100 largest school districts in the U.S., it's banned in 97 of those districts.
Feel free to opine especially those outside the U.S. I believe the UK outlawed CP (especially caning) in the State (what we in North America call Public) Schools in '83 and the "public" (what we call private or parochial) schools in '98. How enlightened is it in your neck of the woods?
Better yet, was anybody out there actually on the receiving end of a paddle or cane? love to hear your thoughts. Again, if someone could post or paste the article, I'd be grateful. What say you?
