TEACHER TELLS STUDENT BEING LEFT-HANDED IS "EVIL"

In Oklahoma, Alisha Sands said her 4-year-old son, Zayde, started pre-K recently at Oakes Elementary in Okemah, and she noticed last week while he was doing homework that he was using his right hand, despite being left-handed. “I asked ‘Is there anything his teachers ever asked about his hands?’ And he raises (his left one) and says this one’s bad,” Sands told local TV. Sands said she sent a note to school with Zayde and the teacher’s response was to send home an article that said left-handedness is “unlucky,” “evil” and “sinister.” “For example, the devil is often portrayed as left-handed,” the article said. Sands said the teacher’s response shocked her. “It breaks my heart for him because someone actually believes that, believes my child is evil because he’s left handed, it’s crazy,” Sands said. The mother said she contacted the superintendent with the article, but – surprise – there was no action taken. “There was no suspension of any kind. There was basically nothing done to this teacher,” Sands said. “She told them she thought I needed literature on it.” Sands said she is trying to get Zayde transferred to another class. The principal at Oakes Elementary said officials are investigating the matter and declined to comment further.
* They were, however, starting to assemble a large pyre of wood and sticks in the playground.
* Thanks, Oklahoma, for sending in this week’s Stupid Teacher of the Week!
* The 4-year-old got them back by using his left hand to summon toads, locusts and floods.
* The weird part? If the kid had started speaking in tongues, that would have been fine.
* What third world country was this in again? Wait, did you say Oklahoma?
* Times have changed. Remember when the fringe in Oklahoma was “the surrey with the fringe on top”?
* Do they actually sit facing backwards in this class or is it just a mental thing?
* Good thing he wasn’t ambidextrous. That’s when the devil and God each control one arm.
* Okay the teacher is stuck on stupid, but why does the principal have to go along?
