Reading is fundamental.
I am not the one manipulating the topic. I have merely stripped it down to it's nakedness. Is it appropriate for an grown adult man to slap a 12 year old child across the face?
Simple question.
Others are the ones peforming mental and philosophical gymnastics to justify saying "yes." My reply is much simpler. "No."
A baseball uniform doesn't make it okay. Being a coach doesn't make it okay. Being in a dugout doesn't make it okay. Not approving of the child's language doesn't make it okay. And being in a position of power or authority over the child definately does not make it okay.
A simple question.
Can you answer it without attempting to justif, excuse or explain your answer?
Is it appropriate for a grown man to slap a child of 12 across the face?
Let me show you how one answers a simple yes or no question without babbling about why the answer is correct.
Watch carefully.
No.
Your turn. Yes or no.
