minus-squareParagone@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1·5 days agoI once saw, on TV, a Brooklyn comedian ask his audience “any of you went to a Catholic school?” a few hands went up… "You remember the names of the nuns? Lefty? Knuckles?" they did. IIRC, the sister in the grade-school I was in, broke a boy’s arm, when she flipped his desk on him, for backtalk. It was a Catholic school. She … hated children? Angry, endless anger, in her… damned odd way of choosing someone for being a teacher… _ /\ _
