The principal's office, if this guy gets his way


Former Minnesota Viking and current rightwing blowhard Jack Brewer stopped by a CPAC panel on Friday in order to share his thoughts on what to do with these kids today — and the evil spirits that inhabit them. Evil spirits, Brewer claims, are everywhere, and the only way to defeat them is by teaching children the Ten Commandments, noting that both Jesus and Moses would be very disappointed were they to ever hear that we did not force children to learn the Ten Commandments in public schools.
. . . .


Kids are actually pretty well-behaved these days — juvenile arrests for violent crimes have dropped by 78 percent since 1994. Also, extensive research has shown that spanking is not just ineffective but likely to increase mental health disorders and impaired brain development. If Jack Brewer was spanked as a child, which we can likely assume he was given his fascination with it, it clearly didn't help keep him from allegedly getting into insider trading as an adult.

But even if it were remotely effective ... why are these people, who are so very scared that their kid is going to find out that trans people exist or that other people's kids are gonna hear a storybook read by a drag queen, and who are so worried about "grooming," okay with other adults touching their kids' butts? How are they okay with children learning that it is okay for adults to touch them at all without their consent? You wanna talk grooming, that's grooming.

Brewer is far from the first conservative to jump on the "corporal punishment is the solution to all of our problems" bandwagon. Matt Walsh even recently claimed that "Singapore is able to have nice things" because they beat people who commit crimes there. Last year, a group of Fox panelists swooned over the idea of bringing spanking back to schools. Given that, again, spanking has been shown to be ineffective at improving the behavior of children and in fact likely makes it worse, we have to assume there is something else behind this. There is nothing wrong with Jack Brewer or any of these other people having a spanking fetish, so long as they confine that fetish to their personal adult activities and leave children out of it.

1. Any adult

who advocates "dealing with children" by beating them is deserving of prison time. I very much dislike these pseudo-adults who proclaim to know what is needed to deal with youth. I would gladly advocate beatings of such pseudo-adults, since you would think they know better. The GQP is the party of pedophiles, child abusers, rapists, fraudsters, liars and "poor thinkers". They should not be permitted anywhere near children.

2. Heaven forbid

Criminitely... the PTSD syndromes via brutal paddling in 1970's rural school turned out incorrigible bullies: taught them only one lesson "don't get caught".

5. Sadly true.

3. I grew up with corporal punishment

all it did for me was give me a high pain threshold and a sense of defiance at all costs.

It did nothing for discipline - there's no reason behind it.

4. I think that the reason behind it is about exercising power and control, with a

certain amount of a sadistic streak. It perpetuates the cycle of violence.
