A new report compiled by Human Rights Watch and the American Civil Liberties Union hopes to play into a debate about the effectiveness of corporal punishment and its role in the classrooms and home in America. Twenty-one U.S. states still permit the use of corporal punishment in schools. The study found more than 200,000 children were hit as punishment in U.S. schools last year and in the South more blacks than whites are struck. In Texas and Mississippi children as young as 3 were struck for transgressions as minor as gum chewing.
