Whack, yikes! whack!

Well, its not exactly employment law, but its posted on a great blog for employment lawyers, Adjunct Law Prof Blog, and in light of the controversy concerning corporal punishment meted out at St. Augustine High School, a link here is appropriate. It quotes from a New York Times Article which notes the U.S. Department of Education estimates 223,190 children were subjected to corporal punishment during the 2005-2006 school year, and that this is a 20% drop from a prior survey. The article points to the Center for Effective Discipline Site which lists the states which ban corporal punishment. Apparently its legal still in 20 states, including Louisiana.
