WASILLA -- A principal at a Christian school who was fired for being voluntarily whipped in front of two students does not regret his decision. "I'm not bitter," Steve Unfreid said of his dismissal as principal of Matanuska Christian School in Palmer.

Unfreid said his choice of discipline was inspired by the actions of Jesus. He asked teacher Joe Brost to whip him in front of two male students in the school's basement last month after the boys were caught kissing girls in the locker room for the second time in a week....

Later at school, Unfreid walked the boys down to a basement room with Brost. He told them, " 'Guys, this has gotta stop,' " he said. " 'I've let the atmosphere get too lax. I share in this discipline. This is a one-time deal.' "

Then the principal took off his belt, gave it to Brost, and instructed the teacher to "discipline me like you would discipline your own son," he recalled.

"Inspired by the actions of Jesus"?! Jesus... whipping... can it be that a certain Mel Gibson flick has come out on DVD?

Guess what my new earworm's gonna be all day? Hint: It's by Devo...

Jesus didn't do anything wrong.

3. Let's expand on this. If he told the teacher to discipline him as he

would his own son, doesn't that amount to an implicit admission of child abuse by the whipper?
