Why is corporal punishment in schools legal in red states and illegal everywhere else?

[Anonymous]

Corporal punishment is legal in Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.

Why is it legal in red states and illegal everywhere else?

Corporal punishment works better to solve behavior problems

Something else.

Because goober states' school systems are run by fundamentalist nuts who believe that antidiluvian BS about "Spare the rod, spoil the child." (I'd like to give my rod to some Southern buxom blonde Becky!!!)

Like i said, they have daddy issues. ㅤ

Is it true? It thought no one used it anymore, it's very bad for children and creates a lot of problems when they grow up

[laraWM]

@strateguy632 What does it mean, it's basically illegal then?

Their minimum wage is 7.25 still. Many red states are out of touch with the 21st century

They also are made up of people who mostly can't read because they were never taught to read because their education system is so shitty. Of course, they don't think that anything like research into corporal punishment is even worth looking at.

Well of course, it makes for a better educated school system and a well-rounded person. Here's a funny correlation reference... note that I didn't say "causation".

Half of those states mentioned are in the bottom 10 for education, none are in the top 10.
Of those remaining states, only 1 is in the top 20.

Alabama (42), Arizona 50), Arkansas (43), Florida, Georgia (40), Kentucky (41), Louisiana (46), Mississippi (44), Missouri, North Carolina, Oklahoma (45), South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.

If you can't cope with children appropriately because you were never educated properly then I suppose beating them is your last resort.

Conservative brains see violence as the first solution to every problem all the time. If Conservatism has all the answers, why are all our Red States poverty and crime ridden shitholes with trash economies and sub par education?

[Asker]

There's actually good research evidence that supports what you just said.

[loveslongnails]

That's why he said it.

[strateguy632]

Because they added that it depends on if "follows local school board policies and avoids excessive force or cruel and unusual punishments". Instead of just banning. They did update law not "stuck in past". This bans cruelty and gives schools authority... Like netherlands schools make 92% of major decisions. Only a bit obligated by government.

[Asker]

So we can absolutely depend on teachers and vice principals and people of that ilk to decide what's cruel and what isn't. You must be kidding. These are the same people that keep insisting that beating kids makes them better.

Corporal Punishment works.

Doing nothing, or giving a child "five minutes in their room" does nothing.

[Asker]

Corporal punishment does not work in terms of correcting behavior. It's very effective at producing more undesirable behavior. Read the research.
