Corporal punishment is child abuse. I’m just going to get that out of the way. I don’t care if it’s one swat on a child’s bottom with a paddle or whipping them with a belt.

While overly zealous Christians in America are happy that the case of forner coach Joe Kennedy who was let go from the Bremerton, Wash. school district for a prayer on the 50-yard-line that turned very public, they may have made it harder for their cause.
