Title: Another baby-whipping book?
Review: Since time immemorial, every form of bigotry has had its defenders and promoters. The more wide-spread the particular problem, the more quacks and hucksters there are who mount pulpits or break into print to justify the behavior in question. They know that by pandering to peoples' most shameful impulses, they can earn fame and fortune. In the past, they defended plantation owners' right to own slaves, husbands' right to beat wives and jailers' right to flog convicts. They defended racial segregation and religious discrimination. Today they defend and promote adults' right to assault and batter children, more commonly known as "discipline," "spanking," "smacking," etc. Author Roy Lessin is a member of that crowd. My advice to readers who might be considering his "How to be Parents of Happy, Obedient Children," is this: don't waste your eyesight, don't waste your money.
