Is physical penalty allowed in schools of the United States?

state of California

I just read an article in a foreign language. The Article states that 23 of the states allow physical penalty in schools. Is this true? Can this be true?

Well, is this allowed or legal at all? in any states? I was hoping that someone would have this knowledge without a research.

Thanks for your reply anyway.

I just wanted to add that just because a state allows corporal punishment does not mean that it's allowed at every school in that state. My state allows corporal punishment, but my county does not.
