By Shaun A. Pennington - July 22, 2020

No tires have been removed from the Anguilla Landfill on St. Croix, despite an agreement that that would happen.

Maybe if we the parents did better at teaching our children about the True Living God & His word ,his truth & his way ! ! ! We would not be living on this tiny islands with the most corrupt politicians ( the Lodge ) who runs all of u & we would not have the highest murder rate of any place or territories in the U.S. and we wouldn’t be walking around bragging how many children we got by how many women !!! But know we beat our women and they get tired of the man and then they start engaging in same sex with other women like some of our politicians that u yourself thought u voted into office !!!!! It all a lie & why do they do the process of injecting the dead souls of the lodge into the tree that grow around the legislature ? Looks like all u forget the cow foot woman she ain’t walking and riding in taxis.she after you who ain’t covered by the Blood of Christ !!!

Corporal punishment is government sanctioned child abuse- I am absolutely shocked and appalled that a supermajority of our elected officials could and would support this.

This is backwards, there are better ways to discipline children. Parents need to set an example of good behavior for their children

But if a parent dares to spank their child family services is on their doorstep. 😐 Leave physical punishment to the parents. I can not believe this is even still a thing here.

Hold on, this failed not once, but TWICE?! I hope all VI tax payers are satisfied that they are paying for people to abuse children in our schools...

Good for them. I know when I was in school, the threat of an ass spanking kept me out of trouble. We all know what happens when the laws that keep this society civil are not obeyed, BLM.

Spare the rod ! Spoil the child ! Proverbs 13 : 24 written by the wisest king of all Solomon . Married to who The Greatest Queen of all from Ethiopia The Queen of Sheba !!! Who all u going listen too . Need get out Basic Instructions Before Leaving Earth !!!!!!

Separation of church and state. Reason over faith. JS.

Sad you on point. Thanks for given it your best effort

Lol, we elected this.

Gotta protect VI culture. Child abuse.

This is disgraceful!!!

Unbelievable

This is BULLSHIT! The VI students should NOT get beaten by a school official. Schools should be a SAFE place for children. Sens. Sarauw and Novell Francis, Jr. you will get my vote. The rest of you F*%# Off!!!
