Recent figures from the the federal Department of Education say that more than 200,000 students each year are subjected to corporal punishment. According to the Congressional testimony, up to 20,000 students a year seek medical attention after the event. Generally, the injuries involve bruising and broken blood vessels.
When fashion designer Marc Ecko heard that corporal punishment was still legal, he decided to act. Starting today, he’s putting up billboards and launching a website and mobile app that he hopes will allow tens of thousands of young people to bombard lawmakers with e-mails, faxes and phone calls demanding change. “There are just certain habits and cycles that are worth breaking,” he said.
And on that note I thik this guy is an idiot. That's what's wrongg with kids today. They are not getting spanked enough in school. When I was in school you got whipped by the teacher and when your parents found out you got whipped again. That's how we used to roll.
