Alarmed that corporal punishment is still used to discipline students in many U.S. schools, fashion designer Marc Ecko has launched a campaign to end the practice.

Ecko's campaign, Unlimited Justice, features a website and mobile app that offers information and tools to encourage Americans to take action to end corporal punishment pressuring state legislators to ban physical discipline.

FACTS:

• In all 50 states it is illegal to hit a prisoner
• In all 50 states it is illegal to hit someone in the military

• Corporal Punishment in public schools is legal in the following 20 states: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, and Wyoming.
• 220,517 students received some form of corporal punishment in school in 2006 (according to the latest report of the US Dept of Education Office of Civil Rights Data)
• Of these students, 20,000 needed to seek medical attention for injuries suffered at the hands of their educators.
• In 20 states a student can be paddled in school for being late to class, acting out, going to the bathroom without permission, or even failing a test
• Students who are paddled have a higher likelihood of dropping out of school
