<p>When I was in college, I had many friends who used to tell stories of being hit by nuns in Catholic school in the early to mid 1960’s. Including one who had a ruler broken over his head (for questioning a nun’s assertion that Jesus was the only man who was ever exactly 6 feet tall, by pointing out that anyone over 6 feet had to be exactly 6 feet at some point on the way). And none of them respected either nuns or the Church more because of it.</p>
<p>I’m assuming that this doesn’t happen in Catholic schools anymore, right?</p>
