BULLSHIT.  I was going to Catholic schools then, and none of my left-handed 
peers were being beaten for it.  Maybe teachers named Bottom, or red-headed
teachers in Maine, or some other identifiable group were doing such things,
but to say that all people in a given religion, or teaching in the schools 
of a given religion were doing it is, in technical terms, BULLSHIT.

And your anecdotal reasoning is a good example of why YOU "should be
prevented ... "

Can you say "prejudice".  I thought you could.
