Head threatens to strap girls just like the boys

 

When a headmaster threatened to introduce the strap as punishment on girls in his coeducational school in Newcastle in 1976, the girls ‘rioted’, according to this report in American newspapers at the time.

‘With school hooliganism on the rise in Britain, especially among girl rowdies, the debate on caning or strapping coeds spread quickly to the national press and parliament,’ it was said.

As published in the Monitor (McAllen, Texas, USA), 25 February 1976.
