I don't care if the kids were right or wrong in walking out. Suspend them, detention..yeah sure. But does anyone really give a cheery two thumbs up to a government bureaucrat hitting their kid?
If these kids were paddled because they DID NOT go to a school-mandated assembly on Planned Parenthood, we'd be up in arms. Accordingly, to support the government hitting ANYONE'S child over light and transient causes is antithetical to individualism and the family being THE core unit of society.
Yeah yeah.
Read the article. It undercuts everything you said.
When my kids were in public schools, I had it on file that if they needed a paddling, I was to be called. I would come deliver it... in front of their classmates.
NO goobermint bureaucrat will touch my kids unless they have a death wish.
The punishment here is not the sting of the swat but the sting of humiliation. A little of that from time to time is good for everybody.
