They have been used twice since officers received training on them at the beginning of the 2025-2026 school year, and are only in use at middle and high schools.
In one case at a high school, the officer used a glove on a student for “noncompliance.”
In short, the purpose is to torture kids
Can anyone find another country on earth where they treat their own kids like literal cattle with shock prods?
How’s that Freedom™ working out for you yanks? Are you free enough yet?
My parents and grandparents used to tell me about how 50+ years ago in Spain, during the dictatorship of Franco, the shortie asshole fascist, physical punishment was the norm in schools which, considering the state of Magastan… it’s more or less in line with what you’d expect from a retrograde fascist dictatorship.
Corporal punishment is still legal in 19 states according to a quick googling. I can’t think of a country that didn’t have physical punishment in public schools 50+ years ago.
It’s been illegal in Swedish schools since 1958, close to 70 years. Almost 50 years since it was made illegal also in the home (1979).
I just want to go back to Europe
It’s been copium for fifty years I think. America actually at one point used to be a decent place to live or emigrate to, and the fact that many people seeking asylum still seek it from the USA both horrifies me and saddens me, that they either have no clue how bad an idea that is, or they know and are still preferring to trade imprisonment, torture, death or worse for a different flavour of imprisonment, torture, death or worse instead of trying for literally any other country
As long as you didn’t have brown skin.
