Trump signed an executive order letting educators physically discipline kids—and this school principal’s response is perfect:
“No. We’re not going to be doing that. It feels like a set up.”
Because it is.
“No. We’re not going to be doing that. It feels like a set up.”
Because it is.

It’s not funny but I’m envisioning SM posts of parents jumping out of cars w/baseball bats ready 2 fight. 🤦🏽♀️😂

And that it is still allowed in some states?
Does NOT make it right, but it is hardly a new idea…(and the EO doesn’t mention hitting anyway…)
You want us beating your children????
In high school, it wasn't uncommon for some of the boys to make paddles in shop class and give them to the teacher. Complete with air holes drilled in them for extra burn.
The leather straps burned even more...
I would only suggest that instead of "paddling," use the term "violence." Bc that's what it is.
The government is involved in every aspect of America's lives. I thought GOP were against government involvement of regular Americans livelihood. Now, they're in our bedrooms, schools, libraries, institutions, courts, kidnapping, child labor, etc! 🤬🤷
I'm sure Black and Brown kids will bear the brunt of it.
Allow educators to physically discipline misbehaving presidents.
Good times...

Thank you for speaking out.
Just one time.
Trust me, I would if I was in power. This shit would STOP.
Do NOT touch them!!!!!!

Also: Executive orders are not laws. He's not a fucking king. Tell him to go fuck himself, repeatedly.
I’m so sorry 💔… and I hope teachers will #resist.
Pretty simple 🤷♂️

Just do a search "disproportionate use of punishment in school". The EO eliminates the 2014 rule.

No child should be beaten by anyone. Period. No parent, no adult, no other kid. No one.
It not a logical consequence. It teaches nothing other than to fear the aggressor (and others in authority) and/or to act in kind when you don’t get your way.
17 states
And my state is one 🤬
MAGA types don’t want anyone getting in the way of them/teachers beating their kids. It’s tradition to them and it’s why they’re so hateful, most were beat.
But politicians on the other hand….
If it is, I pity anyone who puts hands on my kid. Not sure it’s real though.
Let’s make sure we have accurate information. We don’t want to be like them.
He isn't a king and can't make up laws going against our Constitution.
Also see freedom of religion not allowing child abuse. As I've tried more than twice to explain to clients facing serious prison sentences.
'Hey Crazy Pants, stick your EOs right up your AH' !
Cuz that is all he can use proper EOs for. Otherwise it is just bullshit.
--signed, another mom who never spanked, whose late husband had been and was UTTERLY against it, kid now at top university, emotionally healthy.
But why aren't more parents dealing with pedophiles in more personal fashion.
Seems like there'd be more pedophiles ending up disappeared or...
Bad idea

I don't run away, and I don't back down.
Beating a child abuser in defense of the child = 1 glorious right
No worries. You're good. I'd shoot you a generous care package out of my canteen in lockup. All you can eat honey buns.

They aren’t laws. They’re just delusional memos.
You just described to a tee the background of my late husband. Christian conservative Republican. They do ONLY understand authoritarianism, and have NO CLUE how abusive so many of their relationships are.
They're just really bad at being human.
That really ought to be an instant disqualification from politics: the job of managing complex, large-scale human societies.
Why would that not surprise me… oh right
They are not laws. They are not regulations. They are not protection for people who work at State and Local government levels.
If that's the case what use is the federal government at all?
You want Armageddon?
That's how you get Armageddon.
Some religious schools & parents may rock w/that—not caring that corporal punishment is used or even the level of force. However, every day, ordinary parents aren’t down with that 💩 & shouldn’t be.
Montessori was even fucking worse with their looney toones selves..
Compare Taiwan school to ours sometime.
As if he knew -- or cared -- about some woke stuff like "battery." How can he monetize *that* ?
Any school administrator who relies on a Trump EO to get them off the hook for beating a kid deserves whatever lawsuits they have coming at them.
Guaranteed.
Blood will spill.
Lord, fuck. I hate this creature.
I really fucking despise these mutant rejects.
#DestroyAllMutantRejects
Fucking. Destroy. Them.
It will take one teacher physically assaulting one child to figure out how this will go.
more principals need to stand up like this.
There's very little more frustrating than a parent who prefers to attack their own child rather than learn how to parent like a decent human.
Instead of subjecting a nation to their psychosis, why can’t they just get therapy?
You're a grown ass adult physically assaulting your own child so, no, you did not turn out just fine.
