Oklahoma Pre-K teacher allegedly calls being left-handed ‘evil’ and ‘sinister’

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.”

I'm left-handed. Anyone surprised? :)

I write-left-handed. I throw right-handed. I bat right-handed( fairly well from both sides). I bowl left-handed(fairly well the other way). I pitch horsehoes right-handed. Kick left-footed. Politics...definitely Left! :)

My mom writes and eats and does most everything else lefty, but back when she played softball, she batted and threw right, and shot basketball right-handed. She said there wasn't any lefty gloves in town (about 200 people in pig farm country in Iowa), so she had to learn righty.

And I thought I was weird. :lol2:

 

Yes.
