Impairing Education: Corporal Punishment of Students with Disabilities in US Public Schools
Students with disabilities face corporal punishment in public schools at disproportionately high rates according to a new report by the 老澳门开奖结果 and Human Rights Watch. Corporal punishment 鈥� ranging from paddling to smacking to throwing children into walls 鈥� can worsen these students' medical conditions and undermine their education. Students with disabilities are entitled to appropriate, inclusive educational programs that give them the opportunity to thrive. No child should be hit, especially the most vulnerable.
Corporal punishment causes pain, humiliation, and in some cases deep bruising or other serious injury; it also can have long-lasting psychological consequences. Students with disabilities may see their underlying conditions worsened as a result. Furthermore, it creates a violent, degrading school environment in which all students 鈥� and particularly students with disabilities -- may struggle to succeed. The 老澳门开奖结果 and Human Rights Watch call on the federal government and US states to prohibit corporal punishment. School districts should replace corporal punishment with effective, positive forms of discipline, so that children鈥檚 human rights are protected, and so that every student throughout the United States can maximize his or her academic potential.

Blocking Faith, Freezing Charity: Chilling Muslim Charitable Giving in the "War on Terrorism Financing"
This report documents the effect of U.S. government actions on American Muslims' exercise of their right to profess and practice their religion through charitable giving. The 老澳门开奖结果's research shows that U.S. terrorism financing policies and practices are seriously undermining American Muslims' protected constitutional liberties and violating their fundamental human rights to freedom of religion, freedom of association, and freedom from discrimination.
The 老澳门开奖结果 found that these policies and practices are neither fair nor effective, and are undermining American values of due process and fairness. This report outlines clear measures the Obama administration and Congress should take to ensure American Muslims can exercise their religion while protecting charities from mistaken targeting and abuse, and simultaneously promoting national security and humanitarian aid.
