The "Reach Out to your Elected Officials" Thread

[mastermind]

Hi everyone,

After being inspired by some posts in the Russia thread and the work that @tru_m.a.c has done with keeping us updated on local issues happening around the country in the election thread, I decided to make a thread to reach out to your elected officials. As in YOUR elected official.

This thread will point out issues in this country and zero in on who you can contact. I will start with stories, but ultimately this is up to all of us to keep updated.

Voting is important, but calling your congressperson is also an essential part of democracy.

A school in Hephzibah, Georgia, is drawing national attention after sending consent forms to parents informing them of a new policy of using paddling as a form of punishment for students, CBS affiliate WRDW-TV reports.

The Georgia School of Innovation and the Classics (GSIC), a kindergarten-through-9th-grade charter school, is bringing back paddling — spanking a child on the behind with a wooden board — as a form of discipline. Superintendent Jody Boulineau told WRDW that about 100 parents sent back the forms, and one-third gave the school consent to paddle their child.

"In this school, we take discipline very seriously," the superintendent said. "There was a time where corporal punishment was kind of the norm in school and you didn't have the problems that you have."
