Hslda.org good resource for Canada spanking law change

[Fern5827]

The majority of the public polled by Canadian researchers support reasonable
punishment for children.

However, as http://www.hslda.org points out, a small group seems
determined to change the law in Canada, so as to make corporal punishment by
parents illegal.

Apparently there are people who feel that physically assaulting children by
raising one's hand, with or without an implement and striking the body of a
little child is well beyond the limits of what could be considered "reasonable
punishment."

After all, this is considered "cruel and unusual punishment" for adults, and it
is illegal. Why would someone think it is reasonable to physically assault
children in the name of discipline? Obviously there are people that think this
way, though. It's hard to imagine, isn't it?

Maybe we should be questioning the "reasonable" thinking and behavior of adults
who feel that physically hitting and hurting little children is reasonable.

Is it "reasonable" to assume that someone who claimed to have a Ph.D. to
know the difference between spanking and CP that was done to prisoners???
Anti-spanking zealotS and logic..... ;-)
