THE U.N. NEEDS A FLOGGING

In its infinite wisdom the United Nations has ruled that Canada should ban spanking:

As a signatory of the Convention on the Rights of the Child, Canada is obligated to make periodic appearances before the U.N.'s Committee on Rights of the Child, which said the country should "adopt legislation to remove the existing authorization of the use of 'reasonable force' in disciplining children," the National Post reported.

The U.N. body says Canada should "explicitly prohibit all forms of violence against children, however light, within the family, in schools and in other institutions where children might be placed."

As nutty as that is, this is a trend Americans must watch. Thankfully the U.S. is not (yet) a signatory of the U.N.'s Convention on the Rights of the Child. Nontheless, how many feel comfortable spanking their child in any sort of public place? No matter what the little terrors might be doing that needs reining in you're watching over your shoulder for the state social services to swoop in.

"Foolishness is bound up in the heart of a child; The rod of discipline will remove it far from him." --Proverbs 22:15
