Public schools are a good idea and this is why they should have a national standard.
But what if a liberal parent is stuck in area with a school that uses corporal punishment?
You okay with forcing the parents to do something against their core values.
If conservative cake makers cannot be not forced to make cakes for gay weddings then a liberal parent should not be forced to have their child attend a red state public school that uses corporal punishment!
You're mixing up issues but no school should be allowed to hit a child.
If I had a child in a redneck, red state, RWNJ school district, I would make a lot of noise, write letters, make it known that you do not agree to have anyone hit my kid.
Then, if one of the assholes does, you've got a lot of what you need to fight back.
Personally, I think if the parent gives permission, at the beginning of the year, they should be able to swat them with a paddle. My PE coach in Jr. High and High School had a whistle on a leather bootlace tied in a knot. If you screwed around in his class, or in the halls and he was around, the procedure was simple, he'd just holler MARKLE...BEND OVER! That was followed by the swing of that leather lanyard and SMACK. Oh man, that really stung. Whatever you did to deserve, you just didn't ever do again. You sure as heck didn't talk back or assault the teacher.
How are the public schools working out today?
How about giving us a couple dozen of those schools that teach conservative policies and uses corporal punishment?
