Who we are:

The Hitting Stops Here! is a national organization of volunteers from across the U S and its territories working as a team for having safe nurturing American schools.  We are committed to the idea that ALL American school children deserve the best models of discipline and training; models that are both mutually respectful and kind.  We are committed to being a resource for empowering American students to represent themselves and their peers effectively for having schools that model these fundamental virtues.  We want 21st century school children to grow and mature in learning environments that teach peaceful ways of solving EVERY conflict.  Such environments are conducive to producing problem-solvers, independent thinkers, and leaders who have empathy for others.

Our Mission:

seclusions and restraints and other forms of maltreatment in all 50 U S states and  its territories.

To disseminate information about the harm these practices cause children and society.

To demand that President Barack Obama, as Chief Enforcer of Law, command Congress to uphold the US Constitution for protecting ALL school children.  Presently, Congress is failing to adhere to the 14th, 13th, 8th, and 4th amendments, and the Supreme Clause (article VI, paragraph 2) of our U S Constitution, all of which concern our children’s safety. 

It is Congress’s sworn in duty to assure that all “state and local” laws are aligned with the Constitution.  When “state and local” laws conflict with the Constitution, they must be done away with (Con., art. vi, par.2).  The use of school corporal punishment and harmful seclusions and restraints are sanctioned by “state and local” laws.  These laws violate our school children’s 14th amendment constitutional right, the “Equal Protection” clause, which is meant for ALL U S citizens anywhere, anytime.  American school children are U S citizens too. 

ALL school children will be protected by our Constitution IMMEDIATELY, once Congress performs its sworn in duty of adjusting all “state and local” school laws, aligning them with the Constitution.

To empower parents and educators to use proven positive discipline methods which support our children in becoming peaceful problem-solvers, independent thinkers, and empathetic leaders through models that are both mutually respectful and kind. 
Americans must demand that our teachers be trained to use the same classroom management tools that are being used in schools where administrators and teachers care about their children. 
We want to see no American School Teacher “left behind.”
