On our way to a rally in Austin Texas to Ban Corporal Punishment in Schools

[stopschoolpaddling]

in support HR5628. Am documenting our journey on you tube hope nobody thinks I am a nut job but this issue truly does make me nuts. I can't bear the thought of children being beaten with a wooden board so if that makes me nut so be it I guess.

Watch us as we make our way to the rally in Austin to help BAN CORPORAL PUNISHMENT IN SCHOOLS...This is us as we walk down the road.

2. Thank you. We made it to Little Rock just by catching

two rides. The last one drove round and round in circles until we found the greyhound bus station. A homeless man in the terminal was so worried and kind to us, imagine, he restored my faith in the human spirit. Now we are on a bus only headed AWAY from Austin but warm. The bus driver let us on so we wouldn't be stuck in the cold when the Little Rock station closed for the night. We are hoping a friend of ours will be able to purchase our tickets to Austin. If not we will spend the night in the bus terminal and start back hitchhiking in the morning. We are all tapped for money. I left with less than ten dollars. Even my own mother would not help me. She still can not figure out what the big deal is and why I am so bothered by it. She has plenty of money but didn't spare a dime which hurt me very much and still does. Some people are so disconnected that their hearts are completely closed off. Not to worry though our spirits are high that we will find a better place to live and send for my other children very soon.

3. I can't belive it still exists in North America. That is truly scary.

4. I am stunned. Corporal punishment was banned in LA

in 1972. It's dark ages stuff. I was teaching then and at first I was afraid I wouldn't be able to controll the kids but I studied some techniques and it's actuallyeasier to manage behavior with conditioning and reaason that hitting. I'll keep y'all in my thoughts and prayers.

5. Thanks for your support.! It is truly appreciated!

We are safe waiting for the next bus in two hours from now. We lost one of our signs so we are making another one while we wait and will make a short you tube to go with that. If you can post the info anywhere online that would be helpful. How about fashion news? We can get all those well dressed people out there! They can have a heart and look good at the same time LOL We need to do whatever it takes to get as many people as possible to this event.
