Comment on Corporal Punishment by Rhenae Nunez

One important issue that we have overlooked in discussing the parallel issues of corporal punishment and crime is that of adopting the standards of other countries.
Too often are we willing to compromise that which makes us uniquely Belizean to be like other countries. So we throw away corporal punishment and there are no alternatives. Belize is never able to install the necessary services as the great United States and other greater economies have done. We would never need those alternatives if we stuck to what is uniquely Belizeans.
Coming to a home near you – we are now seeking to make our laws more tolerant of homosexuality because our laws says it is illegal, that makes us backward. Already the preached tolerance for homosexuality has impacted our young population…I shudder at the number of high school age children who are homosexuals…girls who are gay…
I know that we cannot live in the past but not because all else is doing it means that we must. My simple point.

This was a ridiculous decision. Now we r just like the US. Wat will become of our children without discipline? We don’t have a fraction of the resources need to pull this off.. US has them n still they have columbines going on.. We are completely screwed. I think this has alot to do with the minstry of education more than the PM. This affects discipline in home n mostly at school. Our schools need many Mr. Clarkes. Have you seen the movie Lean on me with Morgan Freeman?? not the ideal, not the friendliest way but most effective.

Practicing justice is being fair. It is solving problems so everyone wins. You don’t prejudge. You see people as individuals. You don’t accept it when someone acts like a bully, cheats or lies. Being a champion for justice takes courage. Sometimes when you stand for justice, you stand alone.
