BREAKING SH0CK NEWS: Fox News Host Lawrence Jones Sparks Fierce National Debate after making a SH0CKING STATEMENT about Parenting Live On Air.

Fox News host Lawrence Jones gave some brutal parenting advice during a recent segment on “gentle parenting” by telling parents to “spank” their k1ds’ “a–.”

The Wednesday Fox & Friends segment opened with hosts Jones, Brian Kilmeade, and Ainsley Earhardt looking at clips of “gentle parenting,” which prompted Jones to audibly scoff.

“Some of you need to sp2nk your k1ds’ a–. It’s a problem,” said Jones. “Mama Jones didn’t play it. My father didn’t played it. And I just see all these k1ds going crazy in the grocery store, on the plane. And if the parents just would put them over their leg and just [smack], it would be over.”

Jones, for the record, is not a parent.

The “gentle parenting” videos featured moms trying to reason with children throwing temper tantrums. One video showcased a mother gently asking her infant to stop while he hit her in the face.

“The problem is it will be over for you as a parent if you do that in New York City,” Earhardt added. “They would take our children. So you have to do it in your house.”

Several GOP members have advocated for the use of force against children in classrooms. In February, a Senate bill banning the c0rp0ral pun1shment of disabled children in Oklahoma passed in a 31-16 vote. State Senator Shane Jett said that the law violates scripture and called it “a top down socialist aligned ideological, unilateral divorce between parents’ ability to collaborate with their local schools to establish a disciplined regimen.”

He cited Proverbs 22:15: “Folly is bound up in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline drives it far from him.”

Oklahoma State Sen. Warren Hamilton, who also voted against the bill, said that the parent of the child “knows best what that child is going to respond to and how the child is going to perform his or her duties in the classroom.”

Republican Sen. Tommy Tuberville from Alabama has also recently lamented the good ol’ days when parents would b3at th3ir ch1ldren.

“Attention deficit [ADHD], when you and I were growing up, our parents didn’t use a drug; they used a b3lt and wh1pped our butt, you know, and told us, ‘sit down,’” he said to Robert F. Kennedy Jr. during his January confirmation hearing.

During the Wednesday Fox News segment, Dr. Leonard Sachs claimed that parenting works when “parents are in charge.”

“If you let k1ds decide, a lot of bad things happen,” he said.

Kilmeade and Earhardt pointed out that the new parenting trend is being called “eff around and find out.”

“I love it,” Jones said. “I’m gonna get a t-shirt that says that.”
