Lessons from the verbally abusive principal
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 newsgroup, they react to every little idea that does not share their agenda. Like the principal Marlene Whitby at William Penn Elementary School, their techniques of control are often little more than childish name-calling and verbal assaults. They are bullies! A secondary lesson is that schools invested heavily into no-spank ideology before it became trendy. Public educators having been pushing no-spank since shortly after the sexual revolution of the 1960s purportedly repealed the laws of biology and made the genders equal. Educators were pushing it even before creation of the accumulated mountain of rubbish that no-spanks now try to pass off as research. (Legitimate social science research seldom flows in one direction only and results are often inconclusive.) Still another lesson is that putting supposedly well-trained and highly professional child experts in charge of children guarantees absolutely nothing good will come of it. Like Katie's sister, who no longer wanted to have anything to do with Katie because the principal said Katie was a bad person, students learn bullying from professional educators. Bullying in schools is the leading cause of school shootings. Not one teacher, during or since 8-year-old Katie White was dragged from classroom to classroom by principal Marlene Whitby, while being called a thief and a liar, ever said this is not right. Not one came forward. They were all too job scared. Like the defendants at Nuremberg, the teachers at William Penn Elementary School were good supporters of the regime. They went along with the program as if it was perfectly normal to treat drag a kid around like a dog! There was no law against it; the principal was not arrested. Instead, the principal's abuse was excused an overzealous management technique that won't happen again. The problem with no-spank goes even deeper. In much the same way that the shortage of priests caused the Catholic Church to admit potential pedophiles into its seminaries, the shortage of schoolteachers caused by no-spank is opening the schoolhouse doors to some less than savory women. Almost every week there is a news item about a schoolteacher having sex with a student. The Elizabeth Forward Township principal is just the tip of the iceberg for much more common verbal abuse and bullying in schools. There is no magic in the secret ritual of no-spank techniques. Real conflict resolution is more art than science. It is not something to be imparted by professors of education, who never have been very good at teaching universally applicable discipline techniques for the classroom. Schools were supposed to be flagships of the no-spank movement. Their professionally trained staffs were supposed to be the exemplars to parents of students as well as the future parents that sat before them. The game plan was simple. If students were no longer paddled at school, and if a de facto child welfare Schutzstaffel discouraged parents from spanking at home, eventually no-spank would rule the land from sea to shining sea. It hasn't exactly worked out that way. Like the no-spank techniques themselves, the plan was flawed. From sexual activity in the restrooms to verbal abuse in the classrooms, the results of no-spank and its single parenting cousin can be seen in schoolhouses every day. Much like that *peculiar* institution of slavery, notions of feminist equality and its no-spank agenda must be propped up by a vast armada of laws. In time, as happen to both organized slavery in America and feminism in the Soviet Union, the system will collapse and the status quo will return. It is the fate of all unnatural schemes that must be supported by laws. That really is the big lesson that no-spanks have yet to learn. |

Lessons from the verbally abusive principal
Thank you.
No-spanks tend to validate the Law of Logical Argument. That law essentially states: "Anything is possible if you don't know what you're talking about." Although no-spanks boast about how they will one day ban all spanking, in reality they are merely pushing another unworkable and unsustainable *peculiar* institution based on some cockeyed notion of their superiority. No-spank is eugenics by proxy. Watch no-spanks long enough and it becomes obvious that they don't know what they're doing, much less talking about. Doan wrote: Well said!

You got to be talkin' about spankers. Although no-spanks boast about how they will one day ban all spanking, We aren't boasting. We are stating fact. This country is well on it's way in that direction. Note the school paddling rates falling. Only 23 states still have it on the books and they are banning it locally. In the 60's over 90% of the population thought spanking was okay. It's barely 50% today. in reality they are merely pushing another unworkable and unsustainable *peculiar* institution based on some cockeyed notion of their superiority. No-spank is eugenics by proxy. No claim of superiority goes with the spanking ban agenda. Simply the truth. We have a world to veiw as proof of where brutal child rearing methods take humankind. And there is nothing the least cockeyed about calling a spade a spade. If I hit you, it's battery. If I hit a child and it's mine or in my charge it's 'spanking.' Between us who really had the cockeyed notion of superiority and a 'peculiar institution.' Because something is common does not make it right. And spanking is not right. Watch no-spanks long enough and it becomes obvious that they don't know what they're doing, much less talking about. Yet another dancing screeching monkeyboy I see. Nothing to really offer in the way of debate so run away. Oddly, your little diatribe of frustration is a better description of the spankers and apologists that come to the newsgroup from time to time. They usually leave screeching...well, like a monkeyboy. You sure are full of, among other things, opinion, Opinion. But little real support morally or scientificially for your claims. 0:- Doan wrote: Well said!

Lessons from the verbally abusive principal
Hi All,
The article above makes a valid point. Often in here we see the exchange of verbiage degenerate into abuse. Standard debate tactics degrade into insults and meaningless discussion. We've even seen some making empty legal threats if the spin isn't going their way. Trully a sad reflection of the state of dialogue. I would hope that parenting techniques that enhance and reward those that are trying to improve their family would be the purpose of a group like this.--Again I do not support anti-reasonable force statutes that would further punish families that don't fit into the ridgid schematic of the social engineers. I would much rather see local courts/communities handle individual cases rather than seek a "simple solution" to the challenges of modern parenting. As always--non-spanker by choice, Chris C. TX |
