Violence against children is unacceptable. Violence against children under the guise of discipline is unacceptable. Violence against children under the guise of education is unacceptable. Violence against children in any form is unacceptable. Children cannot vote. They cannot defend themselves. It’s up to adults to stand up, speak up, and stop the violence. I’m in. Are you? -L.R.Knost Repost @latinxparenting Most people have no idea that almost 40% of the United States is pro-paddling in schools. I’m gonna be upfront. You need to do something about this, whether you’re part of the following states or not: Wyoming Texas Tennessee South Carolina Oklahoma Missouri Mississippi Louisiana Kentucky Kansas Indiana Idaho Illinois Georgia Florida Colorado Arkansas Arizona Alabama What can you do?
