I experienced this first hand in the first grade. The teacher tied my left hand to the desk. Even though it didn’t happen in the second grade I was regularly humiliated for writing with my left hand. As a result of not being allowed to learn my natural way. How to practice writing in those early years my handwriting has always been terrible. People are shit and the most guilty are those that see how wrong these things are and say nothing. Those who see but don’t stand up for decency. Those are the ones who are most to blame. If they would grow a spine and stand up with the victims rather than the victimizers would find themselves all alone with their indecency.
The word sinister, suggestive of darkness or evil, comes from a Latin word meaning “on the left side.” The association of “left” with “evil” is likely because of the dominance of right-handed people within a population.
This usage actually dates back to the 14th century.
