The case for the abolition of CAPITAL punishment , and or cruel or unusual punishment is not the same as the abolition of corporal punishment.
No. It isn’t. And the case for letting teachers slipper naughty bottoms is different from the case for letting magistrates sentence muggers to be birched. And banning Mum from giving a naughty toddler a little smack on the back of the legs is different from banning The Headmaster from whacking some teenaged rear until it’s owner can’t sit on it for a week. And the case for banning the cane in state schools is different form the case for banning it in private schools. And apples are different from oranges as well.
