I experienced it. We called them “ whacks”. They hurt.
Whack away. It has a useful purpose.

Did anyone ever find out why the girls didn't get paddled?

5th grade English teacher, whose name was Ms. English, would tell you to pull up your pants leg and pull down your socks so she could wack you on the ankle with a ruler. If you were really bad she'd tell you to take off your sock and shoe. That shite hurt! I would much rather take a beating from a paddle than get smacked on the ankle with a ruler.
Good Times.

No. Though the principal had his old paddle visibly hanging on his office wall for nostalgic reason, and to keep us kids in line not knowing it was a retired policy.
Though Dad made sure our teachers knew he was a phone call away from having his belt warmed up when he got home.

Junior high coach paddled 3 of us miscreants so hard we had to poop standing up for a week!

I’m just curious — do they still do this?
I can’t imagine much, if any of this going on in schools nowadays. Regardless of what they say, parents will sue at the drop of a hat and maintain their child’s innocence 100% of the time.
Any teacher would be crazy to physically hit a child these days.

Went to parochial school, those nuns could’ve taught Hitler how to beat some arse.
One nun in 5th grade home room picked up a guy sitting in his desk and tossed him out the window…

No. My son’s catholic school is so fricking soft. They have zero nuns. Just a bunch of middle aged white ladies who are too nice.

Did the paddle have holes drilled in it so the principal could get a little more speed with it like ours did?
There must have been a basic paddle that principles can buy at the local Teachers AIDS store.
I distinctly remember Principle Wilkins having a red one just like you described. Over the years, I’ve also heard many other say exactly what you did.
Were they issued these upon graduation of Principal school? Mayy uh be it’s provided as part of their compensation package.

I grew up going to school in the 2000s. I remember around 2005, some new rule came out about how if your parents agreed and filled out some form, the school was allowed to paddle you if you got into trouble. I never knew anyone who got paddled, but remember when that “new rule” came out.

I hated back to school night as my parents gave them all permission to use the paddles.

I always thought it was funny that they called them “licks” as a kid.
Depending on the severity of your infraction how many licks you got.
I remember my 2nd grade teacher at Stonewall Elementary, Mrs Shackleford, if you didn’t get in a straight line before coming into class in the morning, she’d take the offending students to the front of the class. She’d draw chalk circles on the board to put your nose in while she went along and paddled us.

Routinely
We had a study hall run by the basketball coach and the only woman coach, big class and this was the punishment for talking. It seemed like him and me had an ongoing battle for who'd outlast the other. He even stopped trying to hit really hard.

raising hand mom sent a better paddle to the school for me.
"You have my permission to tear his rear end up if he needs it. You don't have to call me."
That's what my mom told every elementary teacher I had through the sixth grade. The rules changed in the seventh grade and you were more likely to get sent home. I knew better than to get suspended.

I laughed when i got paddled in middle school. My mom had a much stronger arm

I never got paddled but it was happening at the catholic school I went too. Saw the priest beat a kid up the wall in front our whole class. What I did have happen once is the priest stole on me in the middle of the way of the cross for looking at the crowd as an alter boy.

I brought my Dad the permission form home in 9th grade, and he looked me right in the eye and said this: “I’m going to sign this because I believe in it. And if I ever find out they needed to use it, you’re going to get it TWICE as bad when you get home.”

he grabbed a short extension cord off his desk and tried to grab each one of us by the arm so he could whip our arse with the cord.
Our 9th grade civics teacher chased a kid all over the room whipping him with an extension cord and saying,”I will whip your rusty arse.” Not sure what that means, but it stuck in my head. Saw recently that the teacher’s kid wrote a biography of him that makes him sound like a hero.
I got three licks with a paddle from a male assistant principal in elementary school for some minor offense that I don’t even remember. When I got out of the shower the next day I saw that I had incredible bruises. Those marks might put someone in jail these days, but I said nothing. Parents never knew.
Got quite a few more paddlings over the years, but that one was the worst.
One time a female teacher, who we all knew drank in her car during breaks, stormed in another class and paddled me for something I had nothing to do with. She apparently sobered up, realized her screw up, and called my parents that weekend to apologize. I don’t recall her ever saying anything to me about it.
Basketball/PE coach had Big Red, a paddle with a baseball bat handle. He loved to use it. Only tried once with me, for something extremely trivial, and I refused. Told him to take it up with my dad, who was coming to pick me up early to go on a hunting trip. He never mentioned it again.
Some of our teachers were sadistic assholes.
