So... Kansas is still at it? In my middle school 60 years ago, several teachers did similar things. My shop teacher had a wooden paddle. (The rule was supposed to be that you had to get another teacher to witness corporal punishment.)
My science teacher on occasion locked 'bad' students in the equipment closet in his room.

None of this ever happened to me, as I was 'good' boy.

Now... I propose a law allowing lawmakers who introduce stupid bills to be spanked on the courthouse steps!
