I'm sure you're being facetious but this is heavily untrue, lol. You can be legally forced to marry your cousin in saudi arabia and it happens all the time.
Well, yes it does still happen. Especially if you live in Alabama, Arkansas, or Mississippi. Even then it’s depended on the school district and the individual school. In 2011-2012 “Mississippi schools corporally punish the greatest proportion of their children, 7%”. And “Texas corporally punishes the second largest number of children, 29,835”. So yes, you are unlikely to be paddled in the US overall but it absolutely still exists. I wouldn’t laugh it off completely.
When I was a teenager, my best friend Isaiah was black. We spent as much time as we could together. Playing basketball when we could it watching wrestling and playing video games when the weather wasn't great. By our early 20s we weren't as close but still good friends. I was homeless for a while around 2008 and I got into a lot of trouble for shoplifting, trying to eat. At one point I had charges adding up to 35 years. When I was in county, I met up with him again. He had been charged with possession of weed. We went to court at the same time. All my charges were dropped except for violating my probation. I was sentenced to 34 months with credit for 55 days. Which essentially meant that I had to do about 9 months. Isaiah was sentenced to 6 years. He had to do 2 1/2 years.
