| Message | If the parents feel that physical discipline is wrong, then they can send their kids to a school that does not use it. This law simply returns the power of decision to the individual where it belongs and removes it from the government where it does not belong. |

| Message | No person should have the power to make the decision to beat children. especially not unregulated schools. |
