Oklahoma lawmaker Jim Olsen proposes an interim study on the effectiveness of corporal punishment in schools, aiming to preserve the option for school districts that choose it. The study is opposed by the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy, which argues corporal punishment is ineffective and risky. While over half of Oklahoma districts don't allow it, 137 still use corporal punishment, and 60 allow it for students with disabilities.
