The persecution is bad enough that my father, a lefty, told me, a lefty, that I had to join in correcting my nephew from his attempts to be left handed when he was a young child. He and the boys parents decided that was best for him so he wouldn't face the same difficulties in school that my father and I both faced. It was left on left crime, in my mind.
Back when I was a kid getting lousy grades they just chalked it up to me being lazy. So what that I was dyslexic until I was about 10.. I should have been able to function just right in a backwards world.. lol
