On this day, 17 May 1972, 10,000 schoolchildren in the UK walked out on strike in protest against corporal punishment: particularly the use of the cane. When they attempted to occupy Trafalgar Square, police moved in and dispersed the young people and began arresting organisers.
Within two years, London state schools banned corporal punishment. The rest of the country followed in 1987.
