Lefties Unite!

According to the NEA, we're a special needs group. I kid you not, in perusing the recent NEA's Annual Education Resolutions 2007-2008, I came across this section (buried within the "Education Equity" section of the 100+ page packet:

B-18. Left-Handed Students
The National Education Association believes that the needs of all students, including left-handed students, should be met. The Association also believes that appropriate governing agencies should provide desks, scissors, and all other materials and instruments necessary for left-handed students to achieve on an equal basis with right-handed students. The Association strongly recommends preservice preparation and staff development for education employees that present strategies for handwriting instruction to left-handed students. Such training should also address sensitizing instructional staff to the needs of
left-handed students. (1979, 2001)


Boy, the NEA sure has a lot to worry about, huh??????
