A Florida sheriff stunned many of his constituents by appearing to endorse spanking students, his comments coming during a press conference in which county officials announced plans to tighten discipline in Brevard County schools.
Ivey is part of the constitutional sheriffs movement, which maintains that sheriffs are the ultimate authority on what is and what is not constitutional. And he is a Brevard County political powerbroker who helped get two Republicans, Megan Wright and Gene Trent, elected to the county school board.
The emergency disciplinary meeting is tentatively scheduled for 9 a.m. Thursday, which means that most teachers and students won’t be able to attend because they will be in school, Jenkins said. "I do not believe that corporal punishment belongs in public education," Wright said in an email to NBC News.
“If you’re a little snot that’s coming to our classes to be disruptive, you might want to find some place else to go to school because we’re going to be your worst nightmare starting right now,” he said, flanked by Susin, State Attorney Phil Archer and Dolores Varney, representative for the school service workers union.
