--- Quote from: "Wayne Kernochan" ---Who were the first with degrees that beat kids with the blessing of the state? Who in the government made this possible, and how?
Did they pass a law?
Was it legal at all?
If not, how could it be legal now?

There was various laws that passed that allowed for institutionalised children to be beaten and were later revoked. The strap in Alberta public schools was outlawed in the 80s, to give you an idea.

--- Quote from: "Wayne Kernochan" ---I read somewhere that the governor of California changed a law which made it legal for people who have been through a program to work in TCs. I assume it was just for raps, not beatings. How did that change?
Who changed it?
How can I find out?

Anybody ever get beaten in public school? (that's how old I am. The seed did it a little different. They did it behind closed doors,not in front of the group. They would even have hparents come in and smack their kids around in the office.

I've heard that Joe Gauld conducted a public paddling at Hyde School. This seems to have been mostly for humiliation purposes. I did not witness this, but Joe has bragged about it in the past. From an old Time magazine article, "School of Hard Knocks," emphasis added:
...life at the small (enrollment: 175) coed boarding school is almost as rigorous as that of a Marine boot camp. Many of the students are troubled, and short-tempered Gauld treats them like a drill instructor faced with a platoon of left-footed recruits. He occasionally slaps and routinely humiliates the kids—with their parents' tacit consent—in a no-holds-barred effort to toughen them up and build their characters. "The rod is only wrong in the wrong hands," Gauld likes to say. When he finds that a student has what he considers a "bad attitude," Gauld may order him to wear a sign saying I ACT LIKE A BABY, or tell him to dig a 6-ft. by 6-ft. trench and then fill it up. He has even conducted a public paddling ceremony at Hyde.[/list][/size]
