1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:21,360
Speaker 1: I was going to Donkey Donkey club. Yes, Donkey Today

2
00:00:21,400 --> 00:00:24,560
Speaker 1: for Thursday, August twenty fifth. It is Thursday, right, I'd

3
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:26,680
Speaker 1: be getting my days wrong. I said it was Thursday

4
00:00:26,720 --> 00:00:29,160
Speaker 1: on Monday, so technically that I would make today Sunday

5
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,680
Speaker 1: in my world. But don't listen to me. I'm just

6
00:00:31,800 --> 00:00:35,159
Speaker 1: halfway a word that begins with ree and rhymes were

7
00:00:35,280 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: started that we can't say anymore. So listen, Donkey Today

8
00:00:38,280 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 1: for Today is going to a school district in Missouri.

9
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,880
Speaker 1: I'm talking the whole school district as a staff record

10
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:47,280
Speaker 1: label and mother Effren cruel. It's the cast release school district,

11
00:00:47,280 --> 00:00:50,200
Speaker 1: to be exact, because they recently announced that it would

12
00:00:50,200 --> 00:00:54,960
Speaker 1: reinstate spanking this school year. That's right, good old fashioned

13
00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:58,880
Speaker 1: corporal punishment, but of course with a parental caveat. Let's

14
00:00:58,880 --> 00:01:02,240
Speaker 1: go to Kye for the report. An old school discipline

15
00:01:02,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 1: method is returning to some Missouri schools. Madison Horner spooked

16
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: to parents and administrators at Cassville Schools about its decision

17
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:14,640
Speaker 1: to bring corporal punishment back. Cassville Superintendent Merlin Johnson tells

18
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: me the policy change is a result of a survey

19
00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: sent out to staff, students, and parents and may One

20
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:23,800
Speaker 1: of the suggestions that came out was concerns about student discipline,

21
00:01:23,840 --> 00:01:29,040
Speaker 1: and so we reacted by implementing several different strategies, corporal

22
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:31,959
Speaker 1: punishment being one of them. Doctor Johnson says this change

23
00:01:31,959 --> 00:01:36,039
Speaker 1: will give Principles one more disciplinary option before students receive

24
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:40,120
Speaker 1: more serious punishments such as suspensions. Administrators say it would

25
00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,119
Speaker 1: be the last resort for parents and faculty members if

26
00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:49,240
Speaker 1: other means of discipline do not work. They will allow

27
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,440
Speaker 1: speaking in schools, but only as a last resort and

28
00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:55,960
Speaker 1: would written permission from parents. Any parent that allowed their

29
00:01:56,040 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 1: child to be beat by anyone in this school district

30
00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,160
Speaker 1: is a complete and total fucker. I'm telling you right now.

31
00:02:01,240 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: Paddling a child, beating the child, spinking a child, whatever

32
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:05,880
Speaker 1: you want to call it, is the most useless form

33
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:09,440
Speaker 1: of punishment ever. I am triggered by this story because

34
00:02:09,480 --> 00:02:12,280
Speaker 1: they have a picture. What is this? I think it's

35
00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:14,520
Speaker 1: the USA today. They have a picture in the USA

36
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:19,040
Speaker 1: today right of a wooden paddle that has holes in it.

37
00:02:19,800 --> 00:02:22,560
Speaker 1: Anybody who went to Berkeley Middle School in Monks Corner,

38
00:02:22,600 --> 00:02:25,800
Speaker 1: South Carolina in the nineteen hundreds remembers then assistant Principle

39
00:02:25,880 --> 00:02:28,079
Speaker 1: by the name of you know what. I don't want

40
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: to say his name because people be attepting lawsuits for

41
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,000
Speaker 1: the craziest thing, so I won't say his name. But

42
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 1: he was a big ass, bass holl looking white man

43
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: who had a wooden paddle with holes in it, and

44
00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,920
Speaker 1: boy used to tell our asses up. Okay. On the contrast,

45
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:42,679
Speaker 1: it was another assistant principal at Berkeley Middle School whose

46
00:02:42,760 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: name I won't say. He was black, and he had

47
00:02:45,360 --> 00:02:48,720
Speaker 1: a little deformed hand, right, and he used to paddle us.

48
00:02:48,720 --> 00:02:50,919
Speaker 1: But he wasn't as strong as the other dude. Okay.

49
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:52,880
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he had a deformed hand.

50
00:02:53,280 --> 00:02:55,079
Speaker 1: You know, it was really just a nub. So maybe

51
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: because he had a deform hand, he couldn't grip the

52
00:02:57,080 --> 00:03:00,160
Speaker 1: paddle like a baseball bat with both hands and swing

53
00:03:00,320 --> 00:03:02,600
Speaker 1: the paddle with all his might. And his paddle didn't

54
00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,960
Speaker 1: have holes in it. So I figured between the big

55
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,920
Speaker 1: white man's size, right, the fact he could hold his

56
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,000
Speaker 1: paddle with two hands, and the fact he had holes

57
00:03:11,040 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: in his wooden paddle so the wind couldn't slow the

58
00:03:13,360 --> 00:03:16,720
Speaker 1: velocity of that wood to your ass paused down. You know,

59
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,280
Speaker 1: that's why he hits so hard, and me being the

60
00:03:19,320 --> 00:03:21,400
Speaker 1: shite I am. I used to beg to not be

61
00:03:21,480 --> 00:03:23,720
Speaker 1: sent to the principle with the nubby hand who didn't

62
00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: hit his hard, because I knew that if I acted

63
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:26,760
Speaker 1: like he was the one I feared the most, that's

64
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:28,760
Speaker 1: what they would send me. The moral of the story

65
00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:33,399
Speaker 1: is those beatings did nothing for me. Okay, they did

66
00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:36,320
Speaker 1: absolutely nothing but scared me for life. And I know

67
00:03:36,400 --> 00:03:38,720
Speaker 1: it takes a village to raise a child, but those

68
00:03:38,760 --> 00:03:41,640
Speaker 1: two principles weren't part of my village. When we say village,

69
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:43,560
Speaker 1: we mean the people who can sit at your grandma's

70
00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,360
Speaker 1: house and get a plate. If you can sit at

71
00:03:45,400 --> 00:03:47,560
Speaker 1: grandma's house and get a plate, you part of the village.

72
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:50,200
Speaker 1: But here's another thing. Our parents should have never given

73
00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:52,880
Speaker 1: all those people the authority to put hands on us either,

74
00:03:53,240 --> 00:03:56,200
Speaker 1: all these people dealing with their own personal problems and

75
00:03:56,280 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 1: personal traumas projecting that pain on the kids at Okay,

76
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: I'm saying all that to say I don't believe in

77
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: beatings on any level, no corporal punishment, spankings, paddlings, none

78
00:04:06,520 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: of that. I don't put hands on my own churn,

79
00:04:08,440 --> 00:04:12,160
Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna give somebody else permission to do that. Okay.

80
00:04:12,240 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: Now we can get into a whole debate on whether

81
00:04:14,120 --> 00:04:17,760
Speaker 1: or not, you know, folks should spank their own children.

82
00:04:17,760 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: But I am absolutely against giving a school permission to

83
00:04:20,720 --> 00:04:23,480
Speaker 1: put hands on my child. It's too many, you know,

84
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:27,760
Speaker 1: covert racists on this planet, too many covert child abusers

85
00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,599
Speaker 1: in these positions of power to allow this. All right,

86
00:04:30,720 --> 00:04:33,560
Speaker 1: you're not about to be traumatizing my kids because you Matt,

87
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,080
Speaker 1: all right. I don't like beatings, all right at all.

88
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:39,960
Speaker 1: I literally was walking downstairs with an extension cord yesterday

89
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: and I said to myself, how could my father have

90
00:04:42,640 --> 00:04:45,719
Speaker 1: ever beaten me with one of these? Okay, it comes

91
00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:48,160
Speaker 1: a point in time we have to realize the punishment

92
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:52,360
Speaker 1: rereceived this churn was actually abuse. All right. It's nonsense.

93
00:04:52,480 --> 00:04:55,440
Speaker 1: It's nonsense that we learned from our presses the same

94
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,200
Speaker 1: way the white slave owners, you know, used to beat us,

95
00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,640
Speaker 1: beat our ancestors to keep them in line. It's the

96
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: same energy that is being administered in these corporal punishments,

97
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 1: and just like a lot of the enslaved, it didn't

98
00:05:07,080 --> 00:05:09,159
Speaker 1: cause us to get in line. It caused us to

99
00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: ree belt and hate the person on the other end

100
00:05:12,040 --> 00:05:14,480
Speaker 1: of that whip or in this case, a paddle or belt,

101
00:05:14,520 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: our extension, cord, whatever it is. Once again, if you

102
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: are a parent who gives this school or any school,

103
00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:23,479
Speaker 1: permission to beat your kids, then guess what you need

104
00:05:23,560 --> 00:05:28,240
Speaker 1: your ass beat? Okay, you a complete and total suckle.

105
00:05:28,920 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: Please let me ma give the Cashville School District in

106
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,600
Speaker 1: Missouri the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you

107
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:43,039
Speaker 1: stupid mother, far are you dumb? All right? Well, thank you? Yeah,

108
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:45,800
Speaker 1: and I agree discipline is necessary for good upbringing, but

109
00:05:45,920 --> 00:05:48,800
Speaker 1: not physical abuse. All right, there's a difference, and discipline

110
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be physical at all. Miss me with that,

111
00:05:51,920 --> 00:05:54,679
Speaker 1: and don't come at me with that spared rod. Rhetoric

112
00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,240
Speaker 1: from the Bible. Okay, take that rod and shove it

113
00:05:57,279 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: up your own asses, all right, just now? Whoa well,
