"Parents who fight the practice generally have an uphill battle. School officials circle the wagons, authorities decline to bring charges, their child may face reprisals at school for "making waves," and the courts have not been sympathetic. There may even be state laws immunizing the schools from liability (e.g., Alabama and Texas). And sadly, some parents don't care if their daughters are being spanked at school--maybe even approve of it."
Here in New England, parents have a lot of power in the schools. Our PTA's are quite active and I can't even imagine a teacher or a school admin dictating to us. As far as some states allowing it...the weird things going on lately like taking evolution out of the classroom, raids by police, etc...
That said, this is something that citizens need to address, male, female etc.
I read the site posted above and it does sound like a much bigger problem than I was ever aware of. This needs to be approached state by state.
As I said before, I too was a victim of the paddle but never thought of it in the terms presented until I read some of the information on the website. I know now where certain fetishes have come from now. |
