The corporal punishment opponents use this kinky teacher spin to foster their crusade. Most of them are not teachers working in the trenches. Calling teachers who paddle sadists or perverts is unfair. Let’s work to make CP judiciously, moderately and sparingly employed through safeguards rather than impugn those who work in this noble profession, too often unappreciated and underpaid, IMHO. The author Jeff Charles (anti-CP crusader) is working on a book entitled Southern Education (An examination of spanking and paddling as physical abuse, sexual abuse and sexual harassment including paddling photographic illustrations with Andrea). US News And World Report, a well-respected journal with worldwide circulation, gave Jeff Charles, a forum for his propaganda. That’s what teachers who paddle are up against. Andrea is promoting the prohibition by being a volunteer although she is looking to be hired as a model. The thought that Andrea is being exploited or Charles may have a prurient interest shouldn’t cross anyone’s mind. I guess only teachers think that way in his book. He belongs in Whackerville.
