A four-year-old boy was allegedly sent home from school with a note suggesting he was like SATAN - because he was left-handed.

The vile letter suggested little Zayde Sands was "evil", "sinister" and "unlucky" while highlighting that the devil also used his left hand.

The youngster's mum Alisha says she noticed her son had started to use his right-hand, having always previously used his left as she does.

When she quizzed the boy, he says he told her that being left-handed was bad.

Ms Sands, 30, has now pulled Zayde from his class at Oakes Elementary in Okemah, Oklahoma.

She told local news channel KFOR: "From picking things up to throwing things, to batting, to writing, to just colouring you’d do at home with him, he’s always, always used his left hand.”

"I just asked ‘Is there anything his teachers ever asked about his hands?’ And he raises his left and says ‘this one’s bad’."

Ms Sands says she said sent her son's teacher a note - but was stunned to receive a letter back, slamming lefties.

It said: “For example, the devil is often portrayed as left-handed.”

The shocked mum added: "It breaks my heart for him because someone actually believes that, believes my child is evil because he’s left-handed, it’s crazy."

She went to the superintendent with the article and said: "There was no suspension of any kind. There was basically nothing done to this teacher.

"She told them she thought I needed literature on it."

Zayde is now set to move to another class, and mum said: “I don’t feel like the school did what they were supposed to for him.”

The station called the school and told they were aware of what happened and are looking into it.
