And sponsored by the State, in public schools, on top of that! Adult prisoners guilty of horrible crimes, snared in the justice system, who it might be argued are candidates for behavior modification via inflicting physical pain, are legally protected against such treatment! Yet it is acceptable to treat children in this manner?<br><br></div><div>The legitimization of physical violence in our culture is a subject which of course could fill a tome or two. But the practice of legal state sponsored violence against children in public schools in the USA is barbaric, and a symptom of pathological social/political dysfunction.<br>------------------------------------------<br></div><div>Vision2020 Post: Ted Moffett <br></div><div class="ecxgmail_extra"><br><div class="ecxgmail_quote">On Thu, Aug 25, 2016 at 6:54 AM, Moscow Cares <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:moscowcares@moscow.com" target="_blank">moscowcares@moscow.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="ecxgmail_quote" style="border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"><div dir="auto"><div>"<span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);">Many states have outlawed corporal punishment in schools, but it remains legal in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming."</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);"><i>CBS News</i></span></div><div><a href="http://www.cbsnews.com/news/corporal-punishment-still-used-in-many-us-schools/?ftag=CNM-00-10aab6a&linkId=28019626" target="_blank">http://www.cbsnews.com/news/<wbr>corporal-punishment-still-<wbr>used-in-many-us-schools/?ftag=<wbr>CNM-00-10aab6a&linkId=28019626</a></div><div><br></div><div>------------------------------<wbr>---<br><br><div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);">Seeya 'round town, Moscow, because . . .</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);"><br></span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);">"Moscow Cares"</span></div><div><a href="http://www.moscowcares.com/" style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);" target="_blank"><font color="#000000">http://www.MoscowCares.com</font></a></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);"> </span></div><div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);">Tom Hansen</span></div><div><span style="background-color:rgba(255,255,255,0);">Moscow, Idaho</span></div></div><div> </div></div></div></div><br>==============================<wbr>=========================<br>
