Say what, Alabama?

I just stumbled upon this CNN video. A student showed up to her senior prom in a dress that violated the school dress code. Her options for punishment were either 3 days suspension or to be PADDLED! Seriously, get a grip ya damn hillbillies, paddling is not proper discipline for 18 year olds.

That dress is all sorts of not pretty, and she is totally showing off the clev, but that is so not the issue here. Stand your ground, Miss Erica.
