Newly elected Florida school board member wants to revive corporal punishment, cut rights for LGBTQ

The morning after being elected, a new school board member in South Florida said he wants to bring back corporal punishment in classrooms and would like to see fewer rights for LGBTQ students.

Collier County school board's newly elected member Jerry Rutherford announced the goals Wednesday after beating longtime teacher, administrator and school board member Jory Westberry for the District 1 seat in Tuesday's election.

Rutherford said he wants to bring back corporal punishment and said behavior from disabled students, in particular, is "out of control." Florida allows corporal punishment in public schools as long as the district allows it, though Collier County currently prohibits it.

Rutherford, who protested the LGBTQ festival in Naples and has pushed for Bibles in schools, said he'd like to see fewer "rights" for LGBTQ students — or the same rights extended to religious students who want to practice religion in school.

Sounds like par for the course for theses fascist cowards.

Try it with someone that CAN fight back, cowards.
