Editorial: Legislature's self-anointed disciplinarians lack their own
Tuesday, April 2, 2019 -- A particular faith or religious affiliation doesn't grant superiority of motive or purpose over others. Nor does it offer license for mean-spirited bigotry. North Carolina's school districts have rightly banned physical punishment as a method of discipline in schools and the state should make it the law of the land. Citizens, however, still have the strongest behavior modification tool - voting -- for self-serving elected officials. It is one they should use at the ballot box in 2020 to gain some permanent behavior modification.
