The school board of Temple, Texas has reinstituted the use of a paddle to discipline students who misbehave. As a result, there has been a sharp increase in enrollment by adults into S&M.

Parents and school officials seemed to agree that corporal punishment was necessary to curb increasing disciplinary problems. Opponents say that the decision to use a paddle comes from listening to heavy metal music.
