The punishment couldn’t have been reinstated at a more appropriately named institution, for what is paddling in 2018, but an innovation on a classic? A school that approves of corporal punishment should not surprise in Trump’s America, Emma Teitel writes. The paddle in question, the school note reads, “is to be made of wood and should not exceed 24” in length, 6” in width, and 3/4-in thickness.” Is this legal? In fact, corporal punishment is currently legal in 19 states. “There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school and you didn’t have the problems that you have.” Ah, the good old days.
