1. The former math teacher that is now a paid agitator; also note that he mentions some public skrewl officials get sadistic pleasure out of hitting kids
2. How it is okay to spank if it is a woman spanking a girl because even though the schools tell us we are all equal and girls are just as strong as men......well they admit men hit harder
3. Texas still allows spanking in school
If I got spanked at elementary school, I’d get it again when I got home, guaranteed. And that was California!
In this case, the girl is a good student and not a trouble maker. However, letting someone copy her work deserves that she understand this is a serious offense. If she did that in college, she risks being kicked out. She should be sent to the alternative school for those few days as the original punishment was. Never again would she make that mistake.
I recall a lab test in Biology in college. A student kept following me around, trying to copy my work. I finally went to the professor to report this so I wouldn't be suspected of helping this student cheat. I didn't want to risk being expelled from college.
Paddling done the right way is healthy and productive.
In this case, given the nature of the wounds, the male principal who did the paddling was obviously excessive. Probably a teamster type, who is mad with union power. He can legally abuse little girls, and he knows it.
Most government schools ARE child abuse.
This is nuts!
Is there no other alternative like extra home work, after school clean up etc?
If this was my daughter, I'd be chasing this SOB down.
Spanking in elementary school ... maybe. I’d rather see the parents called in and required to administer consequences, under threat of having to keep their little darling at home the rest of his childhood.
Spanking in high school, no way no how no body. If there’s cheating going on, hit the kids in the grades, ban them from sports ... something that really matters to them. Now this girls is national celebrity Victim, and the focus is completely off her dishonesty.
Anyone who chooses to physically hurt anyone else’s children deserves to be stood by a wall and shot. The school is not the judiciary. All infractions must be addressed in a professional manner, without any physical attacks by unauthorised personnel.

America needs to get it's head out of its ass and WAKE UP.
And ride these DAMN public education employees out of town on a RAIL.
If any union thug state employee had ever put his of her hands on one of my daughters, I’d still be serving time for my response. These are government employees and not among the best or most trust worthy.

This girl is too old to be spanked by ANYBODY.
Since she is an outstanding student, she probably was pressured to let someone else cheat off of her. A token punishment like cleaning the schoolroom would be enough for a first offense.

Texas has always allowed spankings. Back when I was in junior high, there was a big stink about doing away with it. It’s also known to everyone that one person, usually a male vice principal, is the lord of the paddle and there is always a witness. In the case of girls, it’s a woman witness. Yes, there’s that sexual context but then there are lesbian principals so if it’s not one it’s the other. Schools usually give the students the option of getting swats or doing time in detention. Sorry if some here don’t like it, that’s the way it is. Anyone who opposes it can run for school board and change the rules.
However, according to Texas CPS regulations, a parent isn’t allowed to use anything other than an open palm and then they darned well better not leave marks. Yes, double standard. So, if the girl still had marks by the time she got home, then her mama should have been heading straight to the CPS office to have it documented and an investigation brought against the vice principal, the witness, the principal, the school and the school board.
I want to party with her when she grows up.
She should have been made to lick whipped cream off the vice-principal’s knees!

Is she the "spanking" type?
