    ...school corporal punishment is still legal in some states? What the fuck?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/School_corporal_punishment_in_the_United_States

    Wow, what an entirely unsurprising map.

    Separately, I was vaguely aware that private corporal punishment is still allowed in some places, but holy shit, I didn't realize it's legal in all but two states: Iowa and New Jersey, the latter since 1867 which is pretty wild. Wonder what the story is there.
