Corporal Punishment

I saw this on World News with Diane Sawyer.

In Alabama, some 13 year old got a paddling from a teacher because he didn't misbehave, but failed his science class! His mother wanted to press charges, but can't. When an ABC News reporter went to that school to interview the school superintendant, he threw him out!

20 states allow corporal punishment in schools (Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Kentucky, Arizona, Indiana, Missouri & Iowa).

Is this ridiculous or what?
