The original source of that chart is here (http://www.hrw.org/reports/2008/us0808/). There is a lot more information in there, including analyses by gender and race within the states allowing corporal punishment.
And yes, it is appalling. In Texas you have the right as a parent to refuse corporal punishment for your children. I did so with mine. It sad to see that so many apparently didn't.
