do you really think they "spank" for birthdays? or just a little ceremonial
paddle softly in honor of... as in tradition?
I probably think the latter.

Subject: [Vision2020] Birthday Spankings
I invite anyone who supports Logos school to please weigh in on this
discussion. What is the purpose of spanking children on their birthday?
Where might I find the verse in the Bible that justifies this behavior?
Does this behavior fall under the category of fun (for the hitter) or is it
just a typical display of patriarchal Christian humor? Are girls spanked as
well as boys on their birthdays? Do children endure this annually? Is it
more appropriate to spank a 3rd grader or is it more appropriate to spank a
senior (who conceivably might spank back?) What's the purpose of choosing
the paddle? Is that somehow supposed to constitute implied consent from the
child? Since Logos claims a substantial student body how many spankings does
the principal get to give every day? Is this a job perk? Who initiated the
birthday spankings, the principal or did the school board members? It seems
to me that there are substantive issues of abuse of power, control, and
humiliation in this scenerio....and the tacky little "reward" of a fast food
certificate after the punishment adds a distinctive twist that is stomach
churning.
What in the world is the matter with the faculty and board that they
support and condone this behavior? Has the Department of Health and Human
Services visited your school lately? If not, I think it is way past time.
