He'd make a wonderful third grade Rebbe
or maybe a good Satmar math teacher.
Report: Scott McConnell, a student pursuing a graduate teaching degree at Le Moyne College, wrote in a paper last fall that "corporal punishment has a place in the classroom."
He was dismissed from the College, by a dean who wrote, "I have grave concerns regarding the mismatch between your personal beliefs regarding teaching and learning and the Le Moyne College program goals."
Before Scott gives up hope, and heads back to his trailer park, I hope he will consider sending a resume to Williamsburg.
Let's count the ma'aylos (merits) Scotty Smackenstein might bring to some nice UO yeshiva.
1 - I doubt he speaks Hebrew
2 - He has a healthy contempt for at least one institution of higher learning
3 - He's very religious. Christian, perhaps, but as Daniel Lapin will be glad to tell you it's all the same
4 - Having been expelled from College, Scott does not have a teaching license
5 - He believes in hitting.
When you think about it, aren't you surprised some Satmar school for wayward boys hasn't grabbed this prize yet?
And furthermore:
Now, Scotty Studentbeater is playing the victim card. He says that because he is an evangelical Christian, his views about sparing the rod and spoiling the child flowed partly from the Bible, and that Le Moyne was "spitting on that."
Next thing you know his people, the evangelicals, will be demanding a constitutional right to hit kids.
And we wouldn't want to spit on that.
