| Message | This isn't about parents smacking their children. This is about teachers, who are paid to educate the young of our nation, hitting children. |

| Message | I hear some support remember this is for teachers, not parents where I grew up it was the PE coach who administered the pops, so it was an effective deterrent putting it out for a vote |
