Texas school reinstates paddling

A school district in Texas has approved a measure that reinstates corporal punishment as a disciplinary measure. According to CBS News, the Three Rivers Independent School District, located 75 miles outside of San Antonio, approved the measure last week. The district joins 26 other school districts that now allow paddling. According to KHOU-TV, corporal punishment would only be administered upon parental approval. Paddling would be administered by either a campus behavioral coordinator or the principal.
