HSLDA has made a name for itself defending parents' right to spank their children---an odd activity for an organization nominally devoted to protecting the legality of homeschooling. While HSLDA literature continually talks about the importance of defending parents' use of "reasonable" corporal punishment, the organization has never taken the time to define just what constitutes "reasonable" corporal punishment.
