A bill to ban corporal punishment in Louisiana s public schools was rejected by a narrow margin in the state House, leaving spanking as an option in 29 of the 69 systems that allow it now.
Metairie Republican Rep. Stephanie Hilferty s House Bill 324 would have outlawed the practice of paddling, spanking or any other form of corporal punishment in the state s public school systems.
The bill failed on a 48-49 vote. It needed 53 votes for passage.
Opponents of the bill like Rep. Larry Bagley, R-Stonewall, a former teacher, said corporal punishment should be decided on a local level. Bagley said he has spanked students before with their parents permission, which is required in current law.
