TIL.. what the fuck. This shit has been illegal Canada wide for generations now, I honestly thought this article was from the past..
Wait...is the modern day US from the past? Was there some sort of time loop?
Turns out when you refuse to make progress you get left behind...
Wait till you find out how often the state executes harmless restrained prisoners in modern day US.
Barely ever?

24 last year is still too many but it's not like this happens a lot
How many is a lot to you?? Like are you sure this isn't copium??
More than 24 a year in a country with a population of 300 million
Idk what that is. If you're implying I think that 24 is ok, I don't. 1 is too many. It can be too many and a small number at the same time.
Oh... I really thought that meanwhile that number was lower... Like significantly lower, like 2 to 3 people.
Nope, it’s still legal to spank children in Canada. As long as the force used does not exceed what is considered reasonable under the circumstances. Linked article
Personal anecdote: when I was in 3rd grade in the early 2000s, there was a student in class that had major behavioural issues and would act out all the time. I had witnessed an incident in class which the student was acting out in front of the teacher, which eventually escalated to the point where he started throwing his desk around and threw his chair at her. After the teacher returned to class a few days later, she had disclosed to the whole class that she had a signed permission form by the student’s parents authorizing her to use force on the student.
It would explain alot
