Amazon algorithm recommends Bible-emblazoned spanking paddle
Online retailing giant Amazon.com has run into problems in the past because of controversial religious products.
(RNS) — For $35.95, parents who want to discipline their kids “God’s way” can buy a handmade paddle, complete with Bible verse and free Prime shipping from Amazon.
The “Board of Education” child discipline paddle is “handcrafted of solid wood,” with a predrilled handle for hanging but otherwise no holes to “weaken paddle causing it to split,” according to the product description on Amazon.
Emblazoned with the words “Proverbs 29:15” — a reference to a Bible verse that reads, “A rod and a reprimand impart wisdom, but a child left undisciplined disgraces its mother,” according to the New International Version translation — the paddle also comes with “laminated suggested spanking guidelines.”
