Mr. Rutherford was recently elected to a school board in Florida as a Republican. He's already gotten himself in hot water because of what he is proposing.

What this man is proposing is to reinstate corporal punishment (i.e. spanking) in Florida public schools, and limit rights to LGBTQIA+ students. The latter shouldn't surprise anyone, since the Sunshine State has been enacting laws against the LGBTQIA+ community for the last few months. But corporal punishment?! Mr. Rutherford specifically, according to Yahoo!, is targeting disabled students, such as those with autism or Asperger's syndrome. That's a pretty easy way to get parents of disabled students upset with you, fella. They have trained, licensed counselors to handle autistic students. Kids with muscular dystrophy or cerebral palsy? Same thing. Bottom line, the disabled need our help, not to be shunned or snubbed.
Get with the program, Mr. Rutherford. This is 2022, not 1952. Your fellow GOPers are accusing parents throughout the south of "child abuse", but what you're proposing IS child abuse. Get your head out of the sand! You get the Weasel ears this week, and well deserved. Go back to your farm or a backgammon marathon, whichever is more important, then, read your Bible, and see what Jesus really wants you to do.
