We're pleased to add Idaho as another state that has prohibited corporal punishment in public schools, as state lawmakers have actually passed what appears to be one of the most forward-thinking laws on the subject anywhere in the country.
What's interesting in this case is that Idaho actually has one of the most Republican legislatures in America. For a long time, the Republicans were the ones fighting to paddle kids more, but now that's the Democrats' specialty. In our part of the country, it's the Democratic-leaning major cities where schools have lately resorted to more extreme forms of physical punishment. The Lexington Herald-Leader recently reported that schools in Lexington now use pepper spray as a disciplinary tool. The same has been occurring in Memphis.
Hey Dems, how does it feel to be the party of paddling and pepper spraying 6-year-olds?
