Rader announced that educators would be further directed on the bill because current Oklahoma state law bans corporal punishment only for students with the “most significant cognitive disabilities” while a rule enforced by the State Department of Education “disallows school employees from using physical force to discipline students with disabilities”, stated the Senate.
‘Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him’, declared State Senator Shane Jett during a debate of Senate Bill 364.
The Independent contacted Senator Shane Jett and Senator Dave Rader for comment.
Jett, 50, described the law banning the beating of disabled children as “a top down socialist aligned ideological, unilateral divorce between parents’ ability to collaborate with their local schools to establish a disciplined regimen.”.
A Republican in Oklahoma has spoken out against a law banning the corporal punishment of disabled children, saying it violates scripture.
