The plan to ban spanking

Many people wonder how I am going to get spanking banned. Many think I support a massive, unpopular ban. In spirit, I believe in the concept of law enforcement and CPS coming down from the ramparts and arresting every parent who is entitled enough to spank a child. However, my plan involves slow but sure change here in Pennsylvania.

The idea is that we change popular opinion, from the top down in terms of strata of education, as educated Americans of both sides of the political and religious spectrum agree with me that things need to be changed. The law here in Pennsylvania tends to change in this regard alongside popular opinion.

Just look around in a store. Here in Pennsylvania, I see no corporal punishment or any punishment whatsoever in stores, usually, or else it is a minor abuse incident. In such cases, I bear witness and jot notes for the Lord, and that's it usually, sometimes posting the more horrendous incidents in vague detail in my Children's Rights blotter journal that I have here, consisting of two incidents already. Things have changed in the last couple of years alone, making a ban inevitable here in Pennsylvania, and I might have been a part of history in the making, but work behind the scenes, not wishing to be publicly praised as "THE child advocate" but instead put information out, and watch it have an effect on society.

It will be banned, but not overnight. We can speak of it in those terms when angry, but we also have to be patient, knowing it is already banned under the natural law of this country. A lot of educated parents know of the anti-spanking research, but most parents don't understand that spanking goes against everything we believe in as a country in terms of Christian democracy.
