Rejected petition Bring back corporal punishment in schools

More details

The incidents all over britain shows that the banning of corporal punishment in schools is not working.

A 1977 survey of young people found that half of them were in favour of retaining CP at school, including many who had themselves been caned or strapped.

Reintroducing this will show some form of disipline which will reduce the rampaging in the streets and terrorising neighbourhoods.
