I unpacked an old moving box and discovered a stack of newspaper articles that I clipped and saved years ago. I thought I would share some of them. (Since most of these clippings are from the Dallas Morning News, I've used DMN as an abbreviation.)

Court upholds punishment in public schools (DMN April 19, 1977 The Supreme Court concluded by a 5 to 4 decision that school paddling does not violate the Constitutional prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments" because it is not a punishment in a judicial sense. They conceded that the plaintiff's treatment
was excessive but argued that it was not unusual given its history in this country, and in any case was not punishment since it was not judicial. This suggests that they might have decided this case differently if his paddling had been ordered by a court as punishment for a criminal act. This decision led to a significant amount of follow-on commentary in the press.)
