This came as no surprise to me.

WASHINGTON - Paddlings, swats, licks. A quarter of a million schoolchildren got them in 2007 — and black children, American Indians and kids with disabilities got a disproportionate share of the punishment, according to a study by a human rights group.

How is this news? They're the ones that deserve it.

I was glad to see the words black and indian rather than African American and Native American. Who dreamt up those stupid euphemisms anyway?

Well, the ACLU of course. I mean, just look at their 2006 logo:

Re: Minorities more likely to be paddled

Just look at what this (doubtless queer) male teacher has to say against the Godly parents in Mississippi:

During the three years Evan Couzo taught in the Mississippi Delta, he refused to paddle kids, offering detention instead. But others — teachers, parents, even kids — were accustomed to paddling.

"Just about everyone at the beginning of the year said, 'If he or she gives you any trouble, you can paddle them. You can send them home, and I'll paddle them. Or you can have me come out to the school, and we can both paddle them.'

Yet people say that parents are never involved in their children's educations!

I thought they took paddling out of schools at the same time that they banned Jesus from schools. This is wonderful news.
