Missouri school district reinstates corporal punishment after parents called for their kids to be spanked with a wooden paddle instead of being disciplined with suspensions
[Daily Mail, where America gets its news] Long line of volunteers.
  • Cassville R-IV School District Superintendent Merlyn Johnson, 47, claimed parents asked to bring back corporal punishment

  • 'There had been a conversation with parents and there had been requests from parents for us to look into it,' he said

  • The decades-old policy went into effect in June and it is an opt-in only policy, allowing parents to decide if their child can be hit at school

  • Johnson said the punishment will only be used as a last resort and it will not inflict bodily harm or injury to children

  • Younger students could receive one to two spanks, while older children could receive up to three

  • Corporal punishment is still legal in 19 states across the US, including Missouri. It is mainly found in Southern states
