Cameron went to a friend's 8th grade commencement yesterday (here in the
Christian South). The *old* headmistress spoke to the crowd. Cameron said that she
said the "S" word no less than 7-8 times (he said it could have been much
more---he was so stunned!). She kept telling the parents that DISCPLINE was so
important. That they shouldn't be afraid to spank. That spanking was good. That
to spank was to show their children that they love them. That the world needs
more spanking. This went on and on. I was appalled that someone could get away
with this in public---in a public address!

His girlfriend (who went to this school last year) said that there were STILL
school paddlings when she was there last year. I haven't asked Devon whether
it's still going on, but judging by the speach yesterday, it must be!

Just so's ya' all know!

Articles/pages like yours, Sandra, are desperately needed.

Good grief.
I was pretty pleased to hear that the UK is finally implementing the full Rights of the Child Act it signed a few years back and outlawing spanking/smacking/hitting this year, like many european
countries have done.
Wouldn't it be nice to see that here too...

Speaking of spanking, I was at a LLL conference last weekend, and during
the lunchtime chat about "alternative learning" one of the women talked
about her province's homeschool conference. She said that there was a
presentation on spanking, a how-to and how-not-to-get-caught. The spanking
presenter was promoting a book but I didn't get to ask the title. Does
anyone have an idea what it might be?
