"Currently it is legal for teachers in Oklahoma to punish students by
physically beating them into submission. There is however a legal exception.
Students who are defied as having “the most significant cognitive disabilities“
are out of scope; teachers can’t legally beat them.
Republican State Rep. John Talley came up with a rather good idea, namely House
Bill 1028. The purpose of this proposed amendment to the existing law looked
like a slam dunk win — namely, modify the scope of the existing law to stop
teachers physically assaulting any disabled students."
[...]
"Who could possibly have any objection to this, it really was a good step in
the right direction.
Unfortunately, Mr Tully was not really up to speed with the religious beliefs
of some of his fellow Republicans, or to be a tad more specific, StateRep. Jim
Olsen."
