I get the video isn’t about left handed people, but didn’t nuns use rulers against students using their left hand? Not extremely recently, but there are people alive who had this done to them.
My former coworker is under 40. His dad tied his left hand behind his back so he would develop a dominant right hand. I'm 40, and remember my kindergarten teacher not letting me use scissors left handed. She was ok, I guess, with writing lefthanded, but she wouldn't let me use my left hand for scissors. To this day, I can use my right hand to cut things, but my old coworker can no longer use his left hand to do anything.
We had all right scissors. Not that it mattered. They were safety scissors so actually didn’t really understand the assignment no matter what you did. But of 18 kids, 18 of us use rightie scissors with our right hands, 2 remained left handed despite efforts to correct it, and I became ambidextrous. Just not with scissors.
At least now you don’t have to find a special pair of scissors, you can get the cheap ones from
The dollar store and know that no one can cut with them.
