My kid and two other students walked out of their rural, very conservative, public school for 17 minutes today, Greer wrote on Twitter. They were given two punishment options. They chose corporal punishment. This generation is not playing around.

Greer later said that the students faced what the school calls swats.

According to Greenbrier Public Schools official policy, the school board authorizes the use of corporal punishment to be administered in accordance with this policy by the Superintendent or his/her designated staff members who are required to have a state-issued license as a condition of their employment.

The handbook says that before students are smacked they are to be given an explanation of the reasons for the punishment and be given an opportunity to refute the charges. administered privately, i.e. out of the sight and hearing of other students.

Greenbrier Public School, which is located in a town of roughly 5,000 people, only first adopted the seemingly outdated disciplinary policy in 2005 and last updated it in 2012.

The rural Arkansas schools policy does caution administrations that the physical punishment should not be excessive, or administered with malice and should be administered in the presence of another school official or licensed staff member of the district.

The schools assistant principal, Brett Meek, hung up the phone when The Daily Beast reached out for comment on the schools regulations. The schools superintendent, Scott Spainhour, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
