U.S. Government HYPOCRITES are Politicizing Children's Fundamental Human/Civil/Constitutional Right to be free from physical/corporal punishment in schools; allowing public schools to force religious child rearing values on others/Federal Legislation H.R. 5628 "Ending Corporal Punishment in Schools Act" in Danger of Dying in Congress TODAY, September 24, 2010!!!!

U.S. Government HYPOCRITES legally allow school children to be physically/corporal punished by school employees in 20 states today! America also helped draft the U.N. Convenant on the Rights of the Child, yet only the U.S. and Somalia (plan to sign soon) have failed to ratify the Covenant!

20 states school disciplinary practices promote violence and sexual abuse of children. Physical/Corporal Punishment is especially disturbing as today it is legal for teachers to hit school children with wooden paddles to deliberately inflict physical pain and suffering as punishment in schools in 20 U.S. states, (these actions constitute sexual assault when done to a non-consenting adult),when the practice is already illegal in schools in 30 states and prohibited by Federal law in prisons and juvenile detention centers. An Enfield, Conn. High School Teacher is facing sexual assault charges after being accused of spanking a female student in class in stark contrast to a recent incident where over a dozen high school girls in Alabama received "Spankings" for prom dresses that were too revealing. Note the disparity. For a real education of what is really happening to our children in our tax-payer funded schools simply type "A Violent Education" and "School is Not Supposed to Hurt" into an internet search engine to review recent shocking reports.

U.S. Congress H.R. 5628 "Ending Corporal Punishment in Schools Act" was introduced to Congress on June 29th by Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) and is about to be put on a SHELF due to lack of votes in support of the ban, as it requires 25 votes to move it on to the next stage: as of July 27th it had 21 votes.

Please don't allow our children's fundamental human/civil/constitutional rights to be Politicized.

Please urge your U.S. Congress Rep. to Co-Sponsor/Support H.R. 5628 "Ending Physical/Corporal Punishment in Schools Act"
