Nearly 60,000 spankings in Miss. schools last year
As kids, Mike Kent and John Jordan said they each got their share of whacks with a paddle. As superintendent of Oxford public schools in 1994, Jordan worked with the school board to end corporal punishment in the district. Kent's district, like many districts statewide, practices corporal punishment. Mississippi has one of the nation's highest rates of corporal punishment.
