After two teen girls were paddled by a male administrator (not pictured), Texas has come to the rescue by ruling that coed spankings, be they males spanking females or vice versa, are 100 percent legal. Though parents argue that this sends an unacceptable message that boys can hit girls (or has sexual BDSM connotations), apparently it's just hard luck for them. Texas law says corporal punishment by teachers is legal unless specifically prohibited by a parent or guardian in writing, and have clarified that unruly girls getting manhandled and sassy boys getting woman-handled is totally OK. Weâre not sure if this is gender equality progress or the perfect premise for a very spicy movie.
