DISABLED CHILDREN ARE SPANKED MORE

This article points out that more than 200.000 schoolchildren are paddled, spanked or subjected to other physical punishment each year, and children with disabilities get a disproportionate share of the treatment, according to a new study found here: http://www.hrw.org/node/84950

Tennessee is one state among 20 that still permit corporal punishment in schools.  I personally do not think corporal punishment should be allowed in school.  This study is disturbing to me!
