    apparently corporal punishment for students was still legal in germany until 1973 and in bavaria until 1979, and still had popular support by then. people can be insane and cruel sometimes.

        From my limited understanding Bavaria has some weirdness going on with its autonomy compared to a lot of Germany. It was the biggest kingdom integrated into the German Empire and so it got a lot of concessions if memory serves right, don’t know how much of this is still true but I wouldn’t be surprised if Bavaria enjoyed some special privileges.
