Your points are valid, as he or she forgot to mention the following:
In most classrooms, not a day goes by without the teacher requesting students rearrange their desks to work in groups together, and that's all it takes for the desks to be in a different order for the next class.
Even if left-handed desks never moved, there are no rules that left-handed desks are actually for left-handers only. As a classroom fills up, it's hard to tell which remaining desks are left-handed. It's also hard for right-handers to remember to look for the same, and end up sitting wherever they were about to, along with left-handers.
Left-handed desks are worthless when there are no policies about actually using them. And half-desks are worse than full-desks, anyway.

- sehender 17y agoBrilliant article! This takes it to the next level in discussing institutionalized discrimination. I never knew how hard I actually had it. :)
- omgsean 17y agoAs a lefty, I hope that people don't read that website and think we're all melodramatic crybabies! Lots of things in life are a little bit harder when you're left handed, fortunately we were granted extra brains to help deal with it. Three of the last four US presidents were left handed. Is that some kind of institutionalized discrimination against right-handed politicians?
