The schools were formed to "Kill the Indian in the child."
When the FN are uncovering evidence of the mass-murder of children by a racist state-financed institution, it is not the place of colonizers to try to say anything to try to mitigate that.
It's true that some Indigenous kids who were in residential school feel positive about some aspects of their experience. That's just a fact. So, Babs, you're saying the residential schools weren't as bad as Auschwitz. That's...err...great.
Hey, I have clients from Argentina who say they had a ball being "disappeared". Just saying, people always emphasize the bad side of those fascist deathsquads.

ReplyDeleteA naive question: What's the deal with Twitter accounts with lots of numbers on the end? Is "Barb" part of a trolling/misinformation campaign?
