Despite the ineffectiveness of corporal punishment of children (as shown in the scientific studies) it remains disturbingly popular in parts of the USA, mostly the 'Old South'.
During the 2013-14 school year almost 19,000 children (about 2.5% of the state's students) were beaten in public schools. Naturally black children were paddled at a disproportionate rate compared to whites.
Oh well, this is the same state that locked down a school on Friday due to 'threats from clowns'.
