     Recently 15 year-oldTaylor Santos, was spanked by her male Vice Principle, Kirt Shaw, at Springtown Independent School District.  Taylor had been accused of allowing another student to copy her homework, (to which she still maintains her innocence,) and requested to be spanked, instead of to receive a two day in-school suspension, as she is a highly conscientious student who did not want to miss any class.  She requested this as she assumed that her school's policy at the time would be followed: that only women are allowed to spank teenage girls.  However, her Vice Principle, Kirt Shaw proceeded to spank her to the point that she was covered with welts and blisters.  Later, when Taylor's mother called, the Vice Principle claimed to have been unaware of his own school's disciplinary policy, despite the fact that he is in charge of discipline at this school.  

     Instead of being investigated and disciplined for his negligence, the school board has chosen to instead honor Kirt Shaw's request to have the policy changed, so that he can continue to spank teenage girls.   The school board voted last night to change this policy.  Please sign this petition to have the school board reconsider this new policy.  Besides the fact that research shows that spanking is an ineffective form of punishment, having a man spank a teenage girl is inappropriate on so many levels.  This new policy endangers the teenage girls of this school district, exposing them to potential physical and sexual assault.  In addition, this new policy may attract Sadists of all types, to seek employment within this school district, making these students even more vulnerable.
