In canada there are bigots who claim that the residential schools were good for the indigenous peoples too.
In these schools, kids were ripped away from their families and homes and beaten until they stopped using their language and culture. The written goal of the school was to take the savage out of the Indian.
How anyone can try to spin these horrific events into a positive is beyond disgusting.
WHAAAAT Canada is racist too? It was supposed to be civilized USA! /s
I stopped believing Canada were "The sane version of America" when they adopted the "Running a mild fever eh? Have you considered euthanasia?" policy
I'm fine with Right To Death, but it's when you start pushing it on vulnerable people to "free up a few beds" that I find it immoral.
Did the catholic church apologize for the mass graves of native canadians found near those schools yet? I know the churches of other denominations that ran these schools have issued apologies.
