End Corporal Punishment in Schools

We, the undersigned, want to end the practice of corporal punishment in America's schools.

Why is this important?

The efficacy of corporal punishment has shown to be minimal, at best. 19 states still allow paddling and other forms of physical punishment in school. In my state, each community sets its own policy; and in many communities schools are allowed to discipline the students with corporal punishment against the wishes of parents.
