I Witnessed Corporal Punishment At School

In the UK I doubt there are many boys, particularly, who grew up in the 1950s and '60s (like me) who didn't see at least one of their classmates whacked with a gymshoe by a particularly sadistic PE teacher!

The United States doesn't care what the rest of the world is doing? I'm American by the way and I know that is not true. In over 40 countries, spanking your child is illegal, Canada will soon pass that law as well (this year even).
Do you really think the USA will continue to allow it, considering it is the country with the highest rates of child abuse and it is in the top five for sexual abuse of children?
Right!
The CPS in America goes after parents who let their children walk alone to the playground. Do you really think that having the right to hit your child will last for that much longer?
I know, I know...it is our American right to abuse our children....
