Conflating two people I didn't like much, oops

I bet you think your kid is smart
You've taught her well to act the part
Hurry now, it's time to start
Using the Rod of Correction

How well she knows to chant and parrot
Stick will do more good than carrot
What do pathetic triumphs merit?
Using the Rod of Correction!

In case you think it's too exciting
To read what your preschooler's writing
I'm here to tell you, she's inviting
Using the Rod of Correction!

Blame them, shame them, for their brains,
Call them dehumanising names,
They'll outthink you, just the same,
You and your Rod of Correction.

Rod of Correction.

I saw someone talking about this the other day. I have been more disgusted with a supposedly fellow human being before, but not by much.

While I'm curious about the context, I may be better off not knowing.
