Brother Alphonse, I agree with everything you said, but Christian parents who live outside the Bible belt face a special problem. Because of anti-Christian bigotry, there are all kinds of crazy laws that make teachers and doctors report signs of "child abuse." The liberals would like nothing more than to take our children away from us and raise them to be Democrats in foster homes.
I would say that, if it's absolutely necessary to use a plastic hose instead of a rod, then a Christian parent should do so, and can make up the difference by swatting extra hard or increasing the number of reps. Of course, the best solution in these areas is homeschooling and using a good faith healer instead of a pediatrician.
