Spanking Creates Aggressive Children, Study Shows
Naturally we can't look at the methodology or data without buying the journal. From my years in early childhood education, the idea smells right. The broken ghetto culture has no other option for asserting authority. They hit because they were hit. They lash out at the people around them because that was how they were taught to deal with problems. The folks that designed Head Start knew that and fight that fight but hitters breed faster than the learners. Now that Early Education is about academic achievement rather than socialization that tiny finger is gonna come out of the dike. Maybe someone has a better idea about instilling values. Jesus and Mohammed failed the inner city. The Irish had similar issues and mostly escaped through better economics but there was a general respect for learning in the culture... Good luck America!
