Gainer was raised in Jackson County, one of 19 primarily North Florida counties whose school systems continue to condone the use of corporal punishment as a means of discipline.
And though controversy is again swirling around the practice in Florida following a Hendry County principal being caught on video aggressively paddling a first-grader, Gainer, now a Florida senator, remains in favor of the use of physical discipline.

Once a child figures out you won t spank them, you ve lost all control.
