Wait... we’re supposed to denounce the horrors of assimilation and residential schools by having all our kids dress up the same as everyone else in the school?

They aren't trying to say assimilation is bad. They're saying white men are bad.
LOL I saw that one. Yeah let's teach these kids how horrible residential schools were by making them dress up like prisoners.
The left's obsession with RS again. They had little effect on aboriginals but the left uses them to explain every aboriginal problem from alcoholism to child abandonment. The left uses RS to justify anti-white hatred and to generate racial division.
Even at their peak around 1900, less than 5% of aboriginal students attended. Nobody was force to go after 1948. RS schools were tough back then but not much different from other country schools. The horrible plagues of centuries past killed many students, but at a lower rate than aboriginals who were not students. When the government tried to shut down RS, the tribes demanded that they remain open. By a huge margin, the biggest complaint at the schools was bullying be other aboriginal students.
Yeah that's what pisses me off about all this, it wasn't meant to be a detrimental thing! We wanted native innovatets, scientists and scholars and figured the best way to bring them outta the teepee was to educate them but nooooo some kids were shits and got abused and while I think thats awful the gist of it was to embittered them so fuck us for trying? Fuck the Indian act a Canadian is a Canadian all red lands go back to gov control rent shithouses like the rest of us bitches.
White man bad for trying to educate and assimilate!!
