Some state legislators and education leaders in North Carolina say spanking students has no place in the schools and are asking lawmakers to ban corporal punishment in schools. A bill has been filed in the state legislature, and State school superintendent June Atkinson and Eddie Davis, president of the North Carolina Association of Educators, also support a ban. According to a survey taken this year by the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill School of Social Work, 68 school districts in the state allow corporal punishment, and 47 prohibit it.
