Blacks are probably more than twice as likely to do everything that results in being paddled, so they're getting off easy.

Are those black students in schools that are predominately black, and being paddled by black teachers and black principals and assistant principals? I would love to know all the background and facts.

I was making jokes during class in 2nd grade.

The teacher called me up, told me to stick out my tongue, and smacked it 3 times with a ruler.

Fond memories of 1975.

In this state, the only school I know of which did it is St Augustine, a black centric Catholic school in NOLA.

I’d wager a large number of the paddlers are African Americans.

These days, she would have you do something else with your tongue.

I wonder why? When I was in public school, the black kids were usually the most deserving.

I believe most schools require parental consent for paddling, and I think we might consider that black parents are more likely to consent to corporal punishment given cultural beliefs (Adrian Peterson as a relevant example).

No one asks why boys are paddled more than girls then applies that logic to race

What he doesn't say is they are 4 times as likely to get in trouble and given many many chances before the paddling occurs.

Principal or VP always asked do you want me to call your parents or take a paddling?

I always took the paddle!

When I started elementary school, my Dad advised me if I ever got sent to the office for a paddling, I should tell them to stop and call him instead.

Right... I just took my paddlings.

Yep, no way in hell I ever wanted my dad coming up to school, he would have waited until recess and let the entire school watch me get my arse beat!

Damn, those black students are lucky. My dad told the school they were not allowed to use corporal punishment with me & my brothers because they won't hit us as hard as he will
