:/
I looked on the curriculum board I now seldom visit and there was **no** mention of the article, which doesn't totally surprise me since many of the members are pretty punitive and some are Pearl followers. Those of us from here who use the curriculum have suggested gentle discipline and have gotten basically nothing but criticized and basically suggested that we weren't "Christian enough" because we wouldn't strike our children.
Unless you are up for a big fight and for a lot of criticism, I too would remain quiet.
