First of all, you ended up as a Trump supporter, so saying something is how it was done when you were growing up, in the most generous context, adds no credibility to it.

Ad hominem, much?

Second, the discussion is about hitting your children, whether children should be disciplined was never a topic of discussion outside of a strawman you've been clinging to.

"Hitting your children" and spanking them when they act out come from two entirely different places. I mean, you're implying spanking your children and abusing them are the same thing?

Third, speaking against people spreading hatred is also a responsibility, so that's even more reason "you need to raise your kids" isn't a justification for physical violence.

But you didn't say "speak against" spreading hatred, you said "why shouldn't we punch them?" or something amounting to that. Why should disagreeing with what someone says or believes be a justification for physical violence?

I also don't disagree that it is a parent's obligation to teach their child to accept others. So I'm not sure why we're even arguing about this particular point.

Finally, respecting authority because it's authority is a bad message and is applied arbitrarily even by those who claim to believe in it. See you supporting the treasonous criminal who ignores any rule that inconveniences him.

I disagree. Better they learn how to defer to authority than to live their life thinking they are above it.
