| Message | Ehhh... 'mycological damage'? How does striking somebody cause them to develop a fungal infection? |
| Date | 05:24:47, July 05, 2005 CET | From | Universal Humanists | To | Debating the school act |
| Message | Perhaps mycological = psychological? Of course, we are against causing either kind of damage to young minds. In any event, mycological damage can be controlled by sanitizing the school showers on a regular basis. Perhaps an Act to Combat Athlete's Foot would be appropriate? |

| Message | While we believe a teacher should have the authority to punish students who misbehave, we believe physical discipline of any kind should be used only by the parents themselves, and then only as a last resort and within strict limitations. (A mild spanking is acceptable, beatings or other physical punishments are NOT.) |

| Message | Even a mild spanking is not acceptable. They may be teachers, but they are in no place to discipline children physically. |

| Message | also, we agree, hehe :-) |

| Message | We were talking about the parents, not the teachers in that last part. |
