Should corporal punishment in schools stay legal?

the knight on the business card faced left. Interesting if you know anything of heraldry.

I know absolutely nothing of heraldry. What little I was able to find in a short research was confusing and uninformative. I gather that facing left was termed as sinister, an obvious clue, but it depended upon which side of the shield you were on. I have been able to find nothing to explain any other significance of the knight facing left.

The Knight is facing the sinister side. Don't really matter which side of the shield you are on sinister is the left face of the shield. The right side is called dexter and the left sinister. " * heraldry (in heraldry: The elements and grammar of heraldic design)

The terms dexter and sinister mean merely “right” and “left.” A shield is understood to be as if held by a user whom the beholder is facing. Thus the side of the shield facing the beholder’s left is the dexter, or right-hand side, and that opposite it is the sinister, or left-hand side." (Britanica)
Just thought it was interesting

LOL! Yeah, that's about what I got out of my own research. I was assuming that there was some secret meaning behind the Paladin's chess piece facing left to the observer, which would be dexter, and not sinister after all!

Now I'm REALLY confused!

The orientation of the card is from the position in which you view it. The Knight is facing left, Left is sinister.
