2. it's not in every county

so check where you live what the policies are..... in the meantime - sign the petition and call your State representative! - if it IS in your county, contact your school board.

3. When you get outside the cities, there's still some backward

shit going on in our state. And some backward people living here.

8. I wish I could find

which school districts allow spanking and which don't... I'd like to see the demographics on those (though I suspect I know).

I was really shocked at the numbers on the WRAL poll, though.
