It's a shame that the children of
St Joseph's Elementary School,
St Patrick's Elementary School,
St Mary's Elementary School
did not have access to
the Peaky Blinders
back in the
sixties.
It would have prevented
scores of beatings.
Instead, we had only God to rely on,
and as a result of his silence
and inaction, the beatings
continued, day after day...
....Holy women teaching
the love of Jesus
to the children in their care
with yardsticks broken over backs,
pointer strikes leaving welts on hands and legs,
rage slaps raising rosy hand print decorated cheeks,
and the most vicious public ridicule.
