This was an eye opener for me. I am intrigued enough to follow to the story you are teasing.
My dad was a south paw who was forced to write with his right, and it set his education back quite severely. He felt strongly enough about it that on my borther's first day at school my mother was ready to do battle with any teacher who was going to make her son use his right hand in favour of his left.
Luckily she was told "we don't do that anymore"
