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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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 !!!!!!

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

This is disgraceful!!!

Gotta protect VI culture. Child abuse.

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

Lol, we elected this.

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!!!
