French parliament voted new law to ban parents from smacking their children
•MPs voted to outlaw 'corporal punishment or humiliation'
•But 85 per cent of French parents say they resort to smacking their children
French politicians have passed a law banning parents from smacking their children.
The French parliament voted today to outlaw corporal punishment in a bid to make sure parents do not overstep their authority.
The bill on 'corporal punishment or humiliation' seeks to ensure that parental authority is exercised 'without violence' of any sort, including 'physical, verbal or psychological' violence.
Despite 85 per cent of French parents saying they resort to smacking their children to discipline them, the National Assembly passed the bill.
MPs voted it through 51-1 early Friday morning, after a late-night debate, and it will now pass to the Senate.
less than 50%

They don't really care whether the truth gets out, because the public no longer knows what's meant by "the truth."
Well, I mean, no one can tell the difference anymore between what's real and what's fake.
Anyway, the point is, I can tell you all of this, right out in the open, because it doesn't matter who knows about it. They won't know whether to believe it or not.-

A gun is a tool, Marion, no better or no worse than any other tool, an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.

Liberty's too precious a thing to be buried in books, Miss Saunders. Men should hold it up in front of them every single day of their lives and say: I'm free to think and to speak.
