Slow to Respond.

Another due-process issue involved corporal punishment in school. James Ingraham was a student at Drew Junior High School in Dade County, Florida, in the fall of 1970. On 6 October 1970 Ingraham did not leave the stage in the school auditorium as quickly as his teacher expected when the teacher asked. Ingraham was sent to the principal's office for a paddling. He protested his innocence and refused to submit to the punishment. Two assistant principals held him over a table while the principal hit him twenty times with a paddle. Ingraham went to the hospital and was out of school for two weeks as a result.
