AND THE ARTICLE TALKED ABOUT A LICENSE‽ SO IS THERE AN ACTUAL LICENSE FOR ADMINISTERING CORPORAL PUNISHMENT‽‽‽‽ WHAT THE FUCK‽

AND THIS IS A POLICY THEY ADOPTED NOT IN 1805 OR 1905, BUT 2005‽ AND “UPDATED” IN 2012‽ THE ONLY WAY TO UPDATE CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IS TO GET RID OF IT!

EVERYONE WHO TOOK PART IN IT AND EVERYONE ON THE SCHOOL BOARD NEEDS TO GO!

If a teacher used “corporal punishment” on one of my children for exercising their right to free expression, I would stick my thumbs into that teacher’s eye sockets.

I am having difficulty thinking of how more information could change how this looks. But I am always willing to listen more information and will not accuse you of standing up for the school or accuse you of sticking your fingers in your ears until you hear one nugget of fact that supports the possibility that they did no wrong.

JEDIT: nevermind, not worth it

More people should appreciate that about you.

Thankyou. That is appreciated.

It sounds like this “swatting” was mild, conducted with oversight, and approved by the parents (and the student has no problem with it)

The student probably had no problem with it probably because it he knew how it would look and he wanted the school to look bad so he agreed to it.

so while surprising I’m not outraged. Also, I’m not against spanking in principle, such as when done by parents, but I don’t see the value when done by principal or teacher.

Schools shouldn’t be doing it at all. The risk of abuse is too high. The risk of going too far is too high. It also seems to an inappropriate form of punishment for schools to be handing out in this day and age. Also if it is true that schools punish black students more often and more harshly than white kids, the existence of corporal punishment in schools would make the problem much worse.

I don’t see much value in a parent physically harming there child either, but I get that that’s a different situation.

you’ve got the wrong person with that quote. I didn’t say it, Mrebo did.

I’m sure there’s details that determine the level of barbarism here, but there’s nothing anyone can say that justifies corporal punishment in schools.

I hope you didn’t miss my first post when I found about about the school using corporal punishment.

Just like how it doesn’t matter what any apologist cop says when an officer shoots an unarmed hostage or little boy in a park to death.

how many more times are you going to keep going back to the cop shootings?

Sure maybe there are certain degrees of criminality there, but the situation is vile no matter what. There is no need to analyze every detail to come to that conclusion.

You should never be on a jury.

What would matter is if you could keep from judging the defendant before all the facts are presented.

The response is a relevant example.

Well for now on I am just going to ignore it whenever you try to bring in our debates about cop shootings.
