>>>It's the liberals who have taken corporal punishment out of the schools. Here in Memphis, we had a super liberal superintendent who took corporal punishment out, and the idiots have been running the asylum since then. They are now holding hearings, and many teachers are testifying that when the young thugs learned they weren't going to be punished, they started assaulting the teachers and other kids at will.

Somehow, plenty of us are managing to raise kids without hitting them. I see no place for beating kids in the discipline spectrum.

That said, I have no objects to wrapping up a little kid in an adult's arms to calm them down. Did it many times, but I didn't hit my kids.

AFAIC, hitting/beating/paddling a kid is an admission that you don't know how to discipline them.
