How much abuse do you think people should take?

Is the number zero?

Guess what, you're people.

There are a shocking amount of people who don't know what abuse is and even more that think a little is okay apparently.

When I teach the research that shows that spanking is abuse, no exceptions, I always get students insisting that they were spanked and they turned out fine.

No, they didn't. They turned out as people who think it's okay to hit little kids.

@TeacherGriff @RickiTarr

I make that same point preemptively, so nobody embarasses themselves.

@rjblaskiewicz @RickiTarr

Oh, sometimes embarrassment is necessary to get the point across. Along with the kids who get it shouting down the kids who argue in favor of spanking. Peer pressure makes a difference.
