How to drive no-spanks nuts by
Opinions
For starters, remind no-spanks that they are the tip of the tail trying
to wag the dog. Like a 2-year-old throwing a tantrum on a toy store
floor, they try to make up for their lack of real power by making a lot
of noise to get what they want. Moreover, much like the 2-year-old,
they need to...

The folly of dependence on laws by
Opinions
In one of the more famous examples of using laws to pursue a political
objective, the former Soviet Union granted women absolute equality with
men. This was no mere law. Rather it was actually written into the
Soviet constitution. Then, a little over a decade later, the Soviet
Union collapsed...

How to mislead with numbers by
Opinions
The crime statistics are out. Of the safest cities in America, 8 are
in no-paddle states. Only 2 are in paddle states. Great news for
no-spanks, right? Well, it depends on how you want to look at things.
With a single exception, all of America's safest *cities* are
relatively small and located...

No-spank flagship sinking by
Opinions
American public schools were the designated flagship of the no-spank
movement. With their professional trained childcare staff, ostensively
in place to educate children in a scheme requiring *compulsory*
attendance, schools were a key linchpin in the no-spank movement. As

The real story behind the paddle vs. no-paddle states map by
Opinions
The real story told by the paddle - no-paddle states map is the same as
the story of the red states - blue states map. It is a story that is
older than the American Civil War. In fact, it goes all the way back
the feuding regional factions that wrote The Constitution of the United
States. ...

Verbal abuser runs school by
Opinions
When principals paddle students, they usually have to do it privately.
When they engage in verbal abuse, the whole world's invited to watch.
At least that is probably the way little Katie White feels about
things.
It began when another student accused 8-year-old Katie White to taking
$5. Based on...

(Yet Another Paddling State Success)
Yes folks. We are to be alarmed that there are states, over twenty of
them, that have outlawed paddling, because where paddling and physical
'discipline' are outlawed the students are rude and cheeky.
Of course they seem to not do a lot of shooting of teachers...

Elizabeth Forward school district policy dictates that administrators
investigate the allegation, meet with the student, and call the
student's parents. Thereafter, any "discipline procedure should teach
respect for the dignity of individuals."

Lessons from the verbally abusive principal by
Opinions
A big lesson is that having the authority to spank is not necessary to
be abusive. Verbal abusers in particular can be thoroughly abusive
without spanking until it becomes physically abusive.
No-spanks often become verbally abusive when things do not go their
way. Like no-spanks in this...

handled by the authorities.
