In Utah Parents Must Give Permission To Beat Their Kids

Monday July 23, 2007
Beating Children With State Support is typical of our confusing and conflicting laws and regulations regarding beating students. Only in America! Did you know that paddling students is still legal in 22 U.S. states? Did you know that corporal punishment is most prevalent in southern and mid-western states?

The only way you and I can stop the barbaric practice of beating children in our schools is to make it illegal. Read my Interview with Jordan Riak, the executive director of Project NoSpank for an in depth look at corporal punishment in America. Then take some action.

For more on the debate about spanking children check out the resources on About's Parenting Babies.
