Week 3 – July 18th, 2023 Theme: Corporal Punishment in Public Schools Fact Sheet

Many states in our region do not have laws banning corporal punishment. This fact sheet on Corporal Punishment in Public Schools from the Department of Justice outlines that Black students and American Indian/Alaska Native students received corporal punishment at roughly twice their rate of enrollment. The next time you are asked to support Black students or students of Native heritage, please consider this information in your approach. https://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/corporal-punishment-part-4.pdf
