Saying no to corporal punishment!

In a landmark move, the state government of Tamil Nadu has banned corporal punishment in schools. I, for one, am happy to see that in the name of discipline and meeting so-called standards, teachers will no longer be able to vent their anger on kids.

Thank God, in the midst of a hundred other issues, the government has paid attention to this critical issue. To all who were on this committee, thank you and God bless! :-)

For the rest of the world, it may seem a trivial issue but beating or humiliating children could result in adults who grow up with a warped sense of self and require inner healing to reach their fullest potential.
