Children’s birthright is to be treated kindly
I was appalled to read about the high rate of child abuse in Lubbock County. What makes me sad and is even more appalling is we are considered such a religious city with churches on every corner.
How is this working for us? Not very well, I would say. I am not an overly religious person, but I am very spiritual, and like the Dalai Lama, my religion is kindness.
Something is wrong when children are hit by their parents and principals are still allowed to do physical punishment in our schools.
