A teacher of mine once told me that before the second Vatican Council students were forbidden to write with their left hands in class. Is this true or is this just modernist propaganda?

My mother, 63, is left-handed. She was raised in TX in a Catholic school setting.
Similarly, my friend's mother was made to use her right hand, although naturally a lefty. She was raised in Switzerland.
Some were forced to "go righty", while others were not.
-
Thank-you! I am also left-handed!
-
You are welcome. I am a lefty, too. :cheers:

I really cannot understand the nostalgia for the above behaviors of the pre-v2 Church.
There is neither 'nostalgia' nor 'behavior' to understand. There was a question, followed by an answer; fairly simple, really.

I don't think it really had anything to do with religion. This probably happens in schools in general, perhaps when teachers just don't know how quite to go about teaching a "lefty" to write. Or some probably think it's just as easy for them to use their right hands as left, and try to make it easier on themselves by making the kids use their right.
It's just one of those things...

This modern, liberal, revolutionary attitude that tries to make out that left-handedness is just as acceptable as right-handedness, comes from the Communists, Freemasons, and feminists.
In more enlightened times, such people would have been tried as witches.
And if left-handed people write with fountain pens, they smudge the ink when their hand goes over it.
Only in nations where writing goes across the page from right to left does it make sense to have left-handed people. I say we send them all there.

LOL!
Don't left-handed people write from the last letter backward?
I've heard some of the really serious lefties talk backwards too.
:laugh2:

For little Clare: I am sure that neither Gladius or I are witches!

As it happens, my little boy (nearly 3 years old) has been displaying signs of left-handedness for some time now!

We all know that "sinister" means evil because sinister means "left" in Latin, just as dexter means "right".
When you're ambidextrous, it's like BOTH hands are your RIGHT hand (ambi = both, dexter = right)
Any words in English with ambi- or ambo- have a meaning of "both" thrown in. (Such as ambivalent = wanting both)

I write, paint, eat, etc. - anything requiring greater touch - as a lefty.
I throw, kick, play tennis, bat, golf, etc., as a righty. My left in these cases is better than most people's off side, but not as strong as my right.
God speed.

I'd imagine most lefties do a great many things with their right hand simply because it's too difficult to "buck the trend".
There are just too many things designed with a right-handed person in mind. (cameras and adding machines come to mind)
My brother is a forced lefty in that he injured his right arm in an accident. Probably the most noticeable and unavoidable is in shaking hands. After awhile he just began flipping his left hand upside down rather than trying to "train" others to extend their left hand.
This guy is a lefty --> :wave:

We write from righ to left and if anyone wants to do it with his left hand he has extra problem becuse will have to lean on his arm. Making a leftie and a rightie sit on the same bench makes their hands collide, so in the school they had lefties sit near one another.

I attended Catholic School before vatican 2.
Being right, or left handed is something that
you are born with. No one that was left handed
was forced to be right handed. Just an another
myth invented by the PC without checking
their facts, or deliberately lieing.
-
Leftie here!
-
My husband is a leftie. :wave:
My grandfather was a leftie, and he was forced to write with his right hand with his left tied down. He could do anything with both hands. :wave:

Interesting -- because I'm right-handed but I kick with my left foot.

Was forbidden in VN before and after VII. I'm not sure about nowadays though. Even in the Communist run schools one of the rules for developing good handwriting (along with good posture, etc) is writing with your right hand.
-
You are welcome. I am a lefty, too. :cheers:
Me too I`m lefty!! yeah! LOL
-
I wrote with both hands as a child, my mother told me I had to use one or the other, apparently, I chose the R hand....makes sense, most testing I am Left Brained, though occ I tested both...
-
I write with my right hand, and the hand that's left is my left hand.
Whereas, my son writes with his left hand, and the hand that's left is his right hand.

So your left hand is the right hand to rest while you write --- whereas your son's left hand is the right hand for him to use when he writes. :wink:
