- DanBC 10y agoAccording to http://www.corpun.com/counuss.htm http://www.corpun.com/counuss.htm Corporal punishment is widespread in Alabama, Arkansas and Mississippi schools. Corporal punishment is routine in some schools in smaller districts of Georgia, Louisiana, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas. It's only in 2011 that parents had the right to prevent their children being hit at school. (This is all public schools. Hitting children in private schools is legal in all but 2 states.) This isn't just children. Some 18 and 19 year olds attend schools and a subjected to physical violence as punishment.
