Bill: Corporal Punishment Act
Details
Submitted by[?]: Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal
Status[?]: passed
Votes: This is an ordinary bill. It requires more yes votes than no votes. This bill will not pass any sooner than the deadline.
Voting deadline: November 4435
Description[?]:
| The Unión Demócrata Republicana Confederal does not believe that causing deliberate pain or discomfort in response to undesired behavior by students in schools is a sound educational policy. Moreover, there is a lack of empirical evidence showing that corporal punishment leads to better control in the classroom, enhances moral character development, or increases students' respect for teachers or other authority figures. Corporal punishment in schools fosters poorer academic achievement, antisocial behavior, injuries to students, and an unwelcoming learning environment. The UDRC believes that violence is not acceptable and we must not support it by sanctioning its use by such authority figures as school officials. |

| Random fact: Moderation will not accept Cultural Protocol updates which introduce, on a significant scale, cultures which are likely to be insufficiently accessible to players. In particular, for all significant cultures in Particracy, it should be easy for players to access and use online resources to assist with language translation and the generation of character names. Moderation reserves the right to amend Cultural Protocols which are deemed to have introduced significant cultures that are not sufficiently accessible and which are not being actively role-played with. |
