Signs We Are Losing Our Collective Minds

Here's another sign:

North Carolina county school board votes to stop spanking

This was interesting:

President Eric Freeman said at Tuesday's board meeting the organization recently polled parents, and 100 asked that the policy not be changed while none voted to stop the spanking.​

Followed by:

Fairley-Ferebee says schools' job is to educate children while parents' responsibility is to discipline them.​

Someone should tell the *** Ferebee that is not an either/or situation, it is both/and.

I suppose in her little wee tiny brain parents should have nothing to with educating their children.

Finally, it has been my experience that for discipline to be effective, it needs to be administered quickly after the incident that necessitated it.

I dug a little deeper to find this:

Campbell seeks re-election as District 2 commissioner | Robesonian

which says:

On Monday, Brenda Fairley-Ferebee, who has represented District 2 on the school board since 1996, and Melissa Ocean, a challenger, filed for that seat.

Fairley-Ferebee, a widow, is the mother of five children, and has nine grandchildren attending Robeson County's public schools.

"I am an ordained Apostle to the Nations, accepted to the United Nations Chaplaincy-Fort Lauderdale, Florida, an advocate of education for students, staff and parents," she said. "I serve many civic groups, with all being attached to Education. …​

This story follows up the corporal punishment story in North Carolina:

Local school reinstates paddle policy

But it's not all good news:

An area school recently sent home consent forms informing them of a new corporal policy at an area school. The superintendent says they've received a little over a hundred forms back, a third of them giving consent to paddle their child.

So only 1/3 of parents agree with their kids being paddled. The other 2/3's think it's a bad idea.

Two things:

1. No one will get paddled. The kids who are exposed to the discipline won't do anything that requires it. Obviously their parents are concerned about disciplining their kids and are doing so.

2. The kids that need it won't face it because their parents are derelict in their duty to raise children. Just another sign we are losing our collective minds.

What if the consent form was a test to see who the problem kids were more likely to be?

Well done sir, well done.

Clearly the fake media is taking too many real drugs.

This one is more complicated, but what idiots wanted and voted for this:

California bans secret settlements in sexual harassment cases

No secret settlement mean no settlements. Off to trial we go. Clearly the legislature thinks the courts have too much time on their hands.

Soon to be appealed and overturned in a court near you.
