AFA Radio host Bryan Fischer supports allowing corporal punishment in schools

Ahh. AFA Radio host Bryan Fischer is on a roll of stupidity, and on today's edition of Focal Point, he strongly defended spanking as an "effective discipline method for children," when reputableresearch on thissubject shows it's the exact opposite.

He also trotted out the lie that the lack of corporal punishment in schools (even in the 19 states that still permit this practice) is causing the quality of education to drop and behavior problems to rise.

Right Wing Watch:

Bryan Fischer spent a large portion of his radio program today hailing the effectiveness of spanking as a biblically-approved form of discipline and cackling as he recounted how he and his wife used a wooden spoon to spank their own children on their bare bottoms because "the bottom is just designed by God for that."

Eventually, Fischer got around to calling for the use of corporal punishment in public schools, saying failure to allow teachers to physically discipline children is why there are so many behavioral problems in school and why children today are getting such a poor education.
