Does a parent have a constitutional right to strike a child with a belt on school grounds?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Sweaney v. Ada County, Idaho, 119 F.3d 1385 (9th Cir. 1997):
The fact that a court could interpret these cases broadly to hold that a parent has a constitutional right to strike a child with a belt on school grounds does not demonstrate that this protection is clearly established. "It is not ... enough to demonstrate that the constitutional norm relied on is the logical extension of principles and decisions already in the books." Somers v. Thurman, 109 F.3d 614, 621 (9th Cir.1997).
