  Speaker 1: I was going to Donkey Donkey club. Yes, Donkey Today
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: for Thursday, August twenty fifth. It is Thursday, right, I'd
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: be getting my days wrong. I said it was Thursday
• 0:26
  Speaker 1: on Monday, so technically that I would make today Sunday
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: in my world. But don't listen to me. I'm just
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: halfway a word that begins with ree and rhymes were
• 0:35
  Speaker 1: started that we can't say anymore. So listen, Donkey Today
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: for Today is going to a school district in Missouri.
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: I'm talking the whole school district as a staff record
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: label and mother Effren cruel. It's the cast release school district,
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: to be exact, because they recently announced that it would
• 0:50
  Speaker 1: reinstate spanking this school year. That's right, good old fashioned
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: corporal punishment, but of course with a parental caveat. Let's
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: go to Kye for the report. An old school discipline
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: method is returning to some Missouri schools. Madison Horner spooked
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: to parents and administrators at Cassville Schools about its decision
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: to bring corporal punishment back. Cassville Superintendent Merlin Johnson tells
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: me the policy change is a result of a survey
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: sent out to staff, students, and parents and may One
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: of the suggestions that came out was concerns about student discipline,
• 1:23
  Speaker 1: and so we reacted by implementing several different strategies, corporal
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: punishment being one of them. Doctor Johnson says this change
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: will give Principles one more disciplinary option before students receive
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: more serious punishments such as suspensions. Administrators say it would
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: be the last resort for parents and faculty members if
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: other means of discipline do not work. They will allow
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: speaking in schools, but only as a last resort and
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: would written permission from parents. Any parent that allowed their
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: child to be beat by anyone in this school district
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: is a complete and total fucker. I'm telling you right now.
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Paddling a child, beating the child, spinking a child, whatever
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: you want to call it, is the most useless form
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: of punishment ever. I am triggered by this story because
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: they have a picture. What is this? I think it's
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: the USA today. They have a picture in the USA
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: today right of a wooden paddle that has holes in it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: Anybody who went to Berkeley Middle School in Monks Corner,
• 2:22
  Speaker 1: South Carolina in the nineteen hundreds remembers then assistant Principle
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: by the name of you know what. I don't want
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: to say his name because people be attepting lawsuits for
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: the craziest thing, so I won't say his name. But
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: he was a big ass, bass holl looking white man
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: who had a wooden paddle with holes in it, and
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: boy used to tell our asses up. Okay. On the contrast,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: it was another assistant principal at Berkeley Middle School whose
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: name I won't say. He was black, and he had
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: a little deformed hand, right, and he used to paddle us.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: But he wasn't as strong as the other dude. Okay.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: I don't know if it's because he had a deformed hand.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: You know, it was really just a nub. So maybe
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: because he had a deform hand, he couldn't grip the
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: paddle like a baseball bat with both hands and swing
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: the paddle with all his might. And his paddle didn't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: have holes in it. So I figured between the big
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: white man's size, right, the fact he could hold his
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: paddle with two hands, and the fact he had holes
• 3:11
  Speaker 1: in his wooden paddle so the wind couldn't slow the
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: velocity of that wood to your ass paused down. You know,
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: that's why he hits so hard, and me being the
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: shite I am. I used to beg to not be
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: sent to the principle with the nubby hand who didn't
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: hit his hard, because I knew that if I acted
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: like he was the one I feared the most, that's
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: what they would send me. The moral of the story
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: is those beatings did nothing for me. Okay, they did
• 3:33
  Speaker 1: absolutely nothing but scared me for life. And I know
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: it takes a village to raise a child, but those
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: two principles weren't part of my village. When we say village,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: we mean the people who can sit at your grandma's
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: house and get a plate. If you can sit at
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: grandma's house and get a plate, you part of the village.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: But here's another thing. Our parents should have never given
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: all those people the authority to put hands on us either,
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: all these people dealing with their own personal problems and
• 3:56
  Speaker 1: personal traumas projecting that pain on the kids at Okay,
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: I'm saying all that to say I don't believe in
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: beatings on any level, no corporal punishment, spankings, paddlings, none
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: of that. I don't put hands on my own churn,
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm not gonna give somebody else permission to do that. Okay.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Now we can get into a whole debate on whether
• 4:14
  Speaker 1: or not, you know, folks should spank their own children.
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: But I am absolutely against giving a school permission to
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: put hands on my child. It's too many, you know,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: covert racists on this planet, too many covert child abusers
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: in these positions of power to allow this. All right,
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: you're not about to be traumatizing my kids because you Matt,
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: all right. I don't like beatings, all right at all.
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: I literally was walking downstairs with an extension cord yesterday
• 4:40
  Speaker 1: and I said to myself, how could my father have
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: ever beaten me with one of these? Okay, it comes
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: a point in time we have to realize the punishment
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: rereceived this churn was actually abuse. All right. It's nonsense.
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: It's nonsense that we learned from our presses the same
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: way the white slave owners, you know, used to beat us,
• 4:59
  Speaker 1: beat our ancestors to keep them in line. It's the
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: same energy that is being administered in these corporal punishments,
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: and just like a lot of the enslaved, it didn't
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: cause us to get in line. It caused us to
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: ree belt and hate the person on the other end
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: of that whip or in this case, a paddle or belt,
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: our extension, cord, whatever it is. Once again, if you
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: are a parent who gives this school or any school,
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: permission to beat your kids, then guess what you need
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: your ass beat? Okay, you a complete and total suckle.
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Please let me ma give the Cashville School District in
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: Missouri the biggest he ha he ha he ha, you
• 5:36
  Speaker 1: stupid mother, far are you dumb? All right? Well, thank you? Yeah,
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: and I agree discipline is necessary for good upbringing, but
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: not physical abuse. All right, there's a difference, and discipline
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: doesn't have to be physical at all. Miss me with that,
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: and don't come at me with that spared rod. Rhetoric
• 5:54
  Speaker 1: from the Bible. Okay, take that rod and shove it
• 5:57
  Speaker 1: up your own asses, all right, just now? Whoa well,
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: all right, Well, when we come back, Nadine and Sutherland
