This cheered me up

Gill's column about these ridiculous St. Aug parents and students agitating in the streets for the privilege of having themselves beaten with paddles is pretty funny.

The Josephites, under prompting by Aymond, ordered a temporary paddling ban, but 500 students, parents and alumni took to the streets Saturday to demand an immediate resumption. This makes New Orleans the only place on earth where campaigners believe children have been insufficiently abused in a Catholic institution.
