The US did it too for a while. The justification seems to have been something to do with left-handed versus right-handed brain processing or something like that. They were worried that they were going to get a generation of artists and poets and that no one would actually do anything industrial.
Also there's something in the Bible about people having left hands being agents of the devil, although it seems to only be in certain editions.
The idea that left-handed people are more artistic than right-handed people has been debunked for years now and yet it's still something people seem to think is true.
This reminds me of one of my absolute fav talks on the left/right brain debate.
