Petition Tag - end corporal punishment in kentucky schools

Dear Governor, Kentucky Board of Education members and State Legislators,

We are writing to alert you to a gross and unconscionable violation of schoolchildren's fundamental human rights. The practice to which we refer is universally condemned by recognized leaders in the fields of pedagogy and psychology.

Nevertheless, it is widespread, and those with the authority to correct it either are unaware of the problem, or pretend to be unaware.
