DARIA W., Age 11
What Male Teachers and Fathers Do to The Girls in Their Care,
A 12-year-old-girl's letter to Paula Flowe, February 13, 2009
Two African American Boys speak out & Comments by D. Mansfield, children's rights advocate
Daria described how she felt with two big men -- the paddler and the witness -- standing in back of her with the office door closed. She said, "I felt like I could get raped."
The paddling left Daria with bruises on her buttocks and severe pain in the lower back that lasted for several days.
Daria was paddled on three other occasions during this school year -- once for tardiness and twice because she forgot to bring documents to school signed by her mother.

Hold off on all African American History celebrations until all of our black and brown children are no longer being beaten like slaves in U.S. public schools.
When Daria exclaimed, "Something stinks in here," her teacher became annoyed and sent her to the office for a paddling. In her interview with Paula Flowe, Daria described how the principal placed a book on his desk and told her to put her hands on either side of it, and point her nose at the book. He warned her not to turn her head or he would hit her on the hand.

MESSAGE TO THE HON. REV. JESSE JACKSON FROM PAULA FLOWE:
"The time is long overdue for you and other African American leaders to send a message to the educational establishment in the 21 paddling states. Tell them to stop beating our babies' butts with wooden boards and pretending it's educational. Tell them to call paddling by its right names: 'cruelty,' 'bullying,' 'violence,' 'sadism,' 'sexual perversion,' 'fetishism.' Tell them to put away their weapons and teach the way they were trained to teach, or find another job. Away from children. Far away!" Click here to listen to radio show. (Begins several minutes after President Obama's segment.)
Were Elizabeth your 16-year-old daughter, would you have a problem with this? Does it make you feel better knowing that it happened in the principal's office rather than in a motel room?
In 2009 U. S. schoolchildren will be free from violent oppression, and no child will ever again set foot in a school where beating is sanctioned.
Paula Flowe, Dir.
