Spanking in NM schools?

It is still LEGAL to spank kids in 36 school's accross New Mexico. The parent of some kids are complaining about how the teachers are leaving marks, also that if they themself's left marks on there kids they would get sent to jail. The parents also don't want there right's as parents to get taken away, so they can still punish there own children. No one was charged because before they let there kids into there school's, they signed a consent form allowing the punishment. It is now up to Martinez to decide on the bill, and the decision has to be done by friday April 8th, 2011.

I think this story is interesting because I didn't even know that it was still happening in school system's around the US.
