“We could say that people who eat grits, listen to country music, follow stock-car racing, support corporal punishment in the schools, hunt 'possum, go to Baptist churches and prefer bourbon to Scotch are likely to be Southerners.” PeopleCountrySchoolChurchSupportCarPunishmentRacingHuntsGritBaptistsScotchSouthernerBourbonCar RacingCorporal PunishmentPossumsStock Car Racing Book:My Tears Spoiled My Aim, and Other Reflections on Southern Culture Source: My Tears Spoiled My Aim, and Other Reflections on Southern Culture
“I think when we talk about corporal punishment, and we have to think about our own children, and we are rather reluctant, it seems to me, to have other people administering punishment to our own children, because we are reluctant, it puts a special obligation on us to maintain order and to send children out from our homes who accept the idea of discipline. So I would not be for corporal punishment in the school, but I would be for very strong discipline at home so we don't place an unfair burden on our teachers.” PeopleThinkingChildrenIdeasHomeSeemsWould BeSchoolOrderStrongAcceptingTeacherSpecialDisciplineBurdenPunishmentObligationVery StrongUnfairReluctantCorporal Punishment Author:John F.
