And the idiots just keep showing up in our schools.

 

 

A 4-year-old was allegedly forced by his teacher to write with his right hand, even though he’s left-handed.The child was sent home with a letter about how left-handedness is often associated with evil and the devil.

Zayde is only 4 years old.

It's his first year at Oakes Elementary in Okemah, but his mom kept him home Monday after a dispute with his teacher over being left-handed.

Zayde, like most kids in Pre-K, is learning how to read and write. And like his mom, Alisha, Zayde is a lefty.

“From picking things up to throwing things, to batting, to writing, to just coloring you’d do at home with him, he’s always, always used his left hand,” Alisha Sands said.

That was until last week at homework time.

Alisha asked him why he was writing with his right hand, not his left.

“I just asked ‘Is there anything his teachers ever asked about his hands?’ And he raises this one and says this one’s bad,” Sands said.

Alisha sent the teacher a note and got a strong response.

It was an article calling left-handedness “unlucky,” “evil,” and “sinister.”

It even says “for example, the devil is often portrayed as left-handed.”

 

Oklahoma Pre-K teacher allegedly calls being left-handed ?evil? and ?sinister? | KFOR.com

I remember my mom talking about being forced by the nuns to do everything with her right hand when she started school, of course that was 91 years ago. I guess some people haven't evolved yet.

My grandfather (obviously left-handed) was forced to write right-handed in the 1910's... his handwriting was shaky his entire life

I have one sister who is a lefty. She's 2 years older than me and tormented me throughout my childhood. I believe.

@doomer is a lefty and not evil nor sinister. He's wrong handed and right minded.

That means three of our last four presidents are evil.

I write right-handed, swing a golf club right-handed, & kick right-footed.

 

I eat left-handed, throw a ball/swing a bat left-handed, and shoot a basketball left-handed.

 

I stick needles in my Getslow voodoo doll with both hands.

There are so many other things this teacher could be focusing on instead of her personal agenda. It's time we as Americans really look in to the education system.

 

 

 

Or not.

If she thinks this way about being left handed, imagine the other twisted opinions she has about things. She needs to go.

There is all the proof you need...right Mt Ref?

hahahahahahaha.....I have successfully fooled another!:jimlad:

To be fair, the latin word for "left" is sinistra which is where a lot of these perceptions come from. I am wondering if the teacher was trying to explain why it was perceived that way. Of course at the same time why that is a lesson that would come up in a class with 4 year old children is beyond me.

After playing baseball for the majority of my life, left handers are sinister.
