YESTERDAY THERE WAS THE NATIONAL
WALKOUT TO MEMORIAL THOSE WHO WERE VICTIMS IN THE SHOOTING IN
PARKLAND AND ALSO TO PROTEST GUN VIOLENCE.
ONE OF THE PARENTS OF
A STUDENT IN ARKANSAS WHO PARTICIPATED IN THE WALKOUT
TWEETED THIS.
HER NAME IS JERUSALEM GREER:
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IS STILL A THING IN SCHOOLS.
IT IS
OUTLAWED IN 31 STATES.
IT IS STILL OKAY IN 19 STATES, PER
THE WASHINGTON POST.
I THINK THAT IS A STAT FROM A FEW
YEARS AGO.
THEY ARE CALLED SWATS.
THAT IS A PROGRAM THAT
HE WAS ADMINISTERED.
SWATS ON THE THIGH WITH A PADDLE.
HERE
IS THE DESCRIPTION OF THE POLICY:
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IS STILL A
THING.
HOW OLD ARE THE STUDENTS?
HIGH SCHOOL?
THE IMAGE OF A HIGH SCHOOL STUDENT GETTING SLAPPED OR
SWATTED, IT IS MIND-BOGGLING TO ME.
AND ALLOWING THEMSELVES TO BE.
I WONDER WHAT THE OTHER OPTION WAS?
THE OTHER THING WAS A TWO DAY IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION.
HE IS
LIKE, LET'S JUST GET IT OVER WITH.
THEY ARE HARD-CORE.
THE STUDENTS ARE WONDERFULLY BRAVE.
HE WAS THE FIRST
ONE TO WALK OUT, THIS PARTICULAR GUY.
LET ME GIVE YOU HIS NAME.
WILEY A. GREER.
HE SAID WHEN HE STOOD UP TO WALK OUT ON THE DAY
THERE WERE GASPS IN THE CLASSROOM AND EVERYONE
WAS LOOKING AT HIM LIKE, WHAT ARE YOU DOING?
BECAUSE LOOK, IN OUR BUBBLE, IN A BIG CITY LIKE L.A., A LOT
OF PEOPLE ARE LIBERAL.
IF YOU DO NOT WALK OUT PEOPLE
LOOK AT YOU KIND OF FUNNY LIKE, YOU WANT GUNS IN SCHOOL?
ARE YOU A WEIRDO?
OVER THERE WALKING OUT IS A HUGE SIGN OF COURAGE AND HE
SAID HE WENT OUT AND THEN HE SAT ON THE PARK BENCH IN FRONT
OF THE SCHOOL AND HE WAS LIKE, IS ANYBODY GOING TO JOIN ME?
HE SAID FINALLY TWO OTHER KIDS CAME OUT AND HE SAID THEY WERE
THE TWO SMARTEST KIDS IN THE SCHOOL.
THAT WAS MY FAVORITE
PART OF THE STORY.
I ALSO LOVED THAT THAT STUDENT SAID THAT HE WAS
CONFOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT HIS SCHOOL'S ADMINISTRATORS
WOULD MEET A PROTEST OF GUN VIOLENCE WITH MORE
VIOLENCE, CORPORATE VIOLENCE.
AND NOT MY WORDS BUT HIS, BUT I JUST THOUGHT I WAS VERY
POWERFUL.
SO GREAT, MAN.
HE COULD HAVE TAKEN IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION.
IF
I, KEEPING IT REAL, I WOULD MUCH RATHER TAKE THE SWATS THAN
THE TWO DAYS OF IN SCHOOL SUSPENSION WHICH IS LIKE
SOLITARY CONFINEMENT, YOU LOSE YOUR MIND IN THERE AND I HAVE A
HIGH THRESHOLD FOR PAIN, BUT OF COURSE THEY SHOULDN'T HAVE
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT, WE SHOULD NOT BE SWATTING PEOPLE WITH A
PADDLE AND LUCKILY THERE ARE SOME RULES AND REGULATIONS AND
SO THERE HAS TO BE ANOTHER ADULT PRESENT WHICH, THAT WAS AMAZING.
WHAT IS GOING ON WITH THIS PADDLING?
I WANT TO
MAKE SURE EVERYONE IS SAFE HERE BUT HE SAID HE TOOK THE
PUNISHMENT TO MAKE A POINT ABOUT THE VIOLENCE.
IT WAS NOT JUST
THAT HE PREFERRED THE SWATTING.
HE SAYS NO,
CORPORAL PUNISHMENT SHOULDN'T EXIST IN THE SCHOOL
SO HE TOOK IT FOR THE POINT.
DON'T YOU THINK IT IS SO HYPOCRITICAL AND BACKWARD OF ANY
SCHOOL THAT IS TRYING TO TEACH KIDS HOW TO THINK CRITICALLY AND
WON'T ALLOW THEM TO DO SOMETHING THAT IS PART OF THE NATIONAL
CONVERSATION?
THAT IS WHAT A LOT OF PARENTS THINK AND I BACK THEM
UP ON IT IS LIKE, IF I HAD A KID AT THAT AGE, I WOULD SAY STAND
UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN, BUT YOU BETTER BE ABLE TO DEFEND IT,
DON'T JUST DO IT BECAUSE YOUR FRIENDS ARE DOING IT, DO IT
BECAUSE YOU UNDERSTAND WHY AND ISN'T THAT WHAT SCHOOLS ARE FOR?
IT'S JUST SO WEIRD WITH THAT MOMENT HAS TO BE LIKE WHEN YOU
WERE IN THE PRINCIPALS OFFICE AND YOU ARE LIKE IN TROUBLE AND
SOMEONE COMES OUT WITH A PADDLE.
THE IDEA THAT LIKE, I UNDERSTAND
THE IMPULSE TO HAVE TWO PEOPLE AROUND, BUT THAT MEANS THAT
THERE IS SOMEONE IN THIS ROOM WHERE A KID IS GETTING BEATEN
JUST TO WATCH.
WHAT?
WHO VOLUNTEERED FOR THAT?
OH, YOU ARE PADDLING THE STUDENTS?
I WILL BE THE WITNESS.
THE OTHER REGULATION IS IT CAN'T BE
EXCESSIVE, AGAIN, PADDLE, AND THAT IT CAN'T BE DONE WITH ANY
MALICE.
YOU ARE HITTING A KID ON THE THIGH, YEAH, HE SAID ENDED
UP NOT HURTING, THE PRINCIPAL THE QUOTED, HIS STATEMENT, HE
WAS LIKE, IT IS NOT ALWAYS LIKE THAT.
THE PRINCIPAL WAS LIKE SOMETIMES IT HURTS MORE, BE THANKFUL
OR LIKE IT IS SUPPOSED TO HURT MORE.
I WISH I COULD DO IT AGAIN, BUT I CAN'T ACT WITH MALICE.
WAS THE PRINCIPAL BEING LIKE WINK, WINK I GOT
YOU, I'M ON YOUR SIDE, SORT OF THING?
YOU CAN'T TELL BUT THAT WAS MY READING OF IT.
TO BE FAIR TO THE PRINCIPAL HE SAID THAT HE RESPECTED THE
ADULTS, THEY DID NOTHING WRONG AND THEY ARE PUT IN THIS
AWKWARD SITUATION WHERE THE PRINCIPAL HAS TO COME OUT
AND TELL THE KIDS WHEN THEY ARE DOING THE WALKOUT, DO
UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCE OF YOUR ACTIONS?
AND EXPLAIN THAT YOU ARE GOING TO GET BEAT FOR THIS OR
SWATTED FOR THIS.
I GOT THE SENSE FROM WILEY'S LETTER
THAT THE PRINCIPLE WAS LIKE OKAY, BUT THE NEXT TIME IT
MIGHT ACTUALLY HURT.
EVEN IF THE PRINCIPAL WAS NOT THAT WAY, IT IS A GREAT WAY TO
DEFAME WHAT MIGHT SEEM LIKE A CRITICISM OF HIM WHICH IS LIKE,
HE DOES NOT LIKE HIS PRINCIPAL.
HE WAS LIKE, THE PRINCIPAL WAS ACTING IN ACCORDANCE WITH WHAT
WAS, WE WERE ALL PROFESSIONALS THERE AND MEANWHILE I AM 16.
HE IS SO MUCH GRACE IN HIS LETTER THAT HE WROTE FOR THE
SCHOOL OFFICIALS AND NOT TO MINIMIZE WHAT WILEY AND ALL
THESE OTHER STUDENTS HAVE DONE BECAUSE IT IS SO COURAGEOUS, BUT
WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THROUGH HISTORY AND THE WAY THE HISTORY
HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF HISTORY THROUGH WALKOUTS AND
PROTESTS, THE CONSEQUENCES THAT STUDENTS TODAY
ARE FACING ARE DIFFERENT, MARKEDLY DIFFERENT FROM WHAT
THEY FACED WHEN THE KKK MIGHT'VE TARGETED YOU WHEN YOU WERE
MARCHING IN YOUR SCHOOL AND TRYING TO FIGHT FOR
DESEGREGATION
OR INTEGRATION IN THE SCHOOLS, SO AGAIN, NOT TO MINIMIZE WHAT
THE STUDENTS HAVE DONE, BUT JUST TO SHOW HOW POWERFUL THESE
STATEMENTS CAN BE AND HOW MUCH CHANGE IF THEY CAN REALLY
AFFECT WHEN YOU LOOK BACK THROUGH TIME.
AND OF COURSE, PROBABLY THE MOST FAMOUS INSTANCE OF
FIGHTING AGAINST SEGREGATION WAS IN ARKANSAS AS WELL.
