This is the best article I have come across yet on real residential schools. We hear so much about the phone charge of culture genocide. Dr. Rubenstein finds a hole in this hyperbolic charge and lists the many examples of cultural empowerment.
Another articulate and informative article by the master of critical enquiry. One would hope that if Hymie is ever arrested for "Residential School Denialism" that Greg Piasetzski will step forward to defend him.
“Those who will not reason, are bigots, those who cannot, are fools, and those who dare not, are slaves.”
The defamatory propaganda tropes aimed at the Indian residual school system carry the same cultural hostility and preparedness to make up false narrative as the writers and supporters of that infamous intercultural libel, 'The Protocols of the Elders of Zion'.
The fact that the latter was repeatedly proven to be a nineteenth century forgery in no way slowed down or mitigated its usefulness as a tool to persecute Jews.
Bullshit beats brains and nowhere is that more evident than in the uneven match up between carefully and honestly researched evidence based historical writing, and the institutionalized faith based fantasizing that we are witnessing now, as semi-educated Woke indoctirnaires run amok through our social institutions, destroying them as they go.
Woke and Nazi ideologues have a common ideological modus operandi and will look equally evil and intellectually incompetent when the former gets its turn to fall down an existential cliff into the valley of the shadow of marginalization and discredit......but not before they have done endless damage to everything they have touched in the meantime.
The other element of this targeting of the Catholic Church is that it has been a long standing and steadfast faith based enemy of 'The Rational Enlightenment'; an enmity that goes back centuries
Petty bourgeois libertarians have always hated its influence and power, which means that as that has attenuated and found itself often victim of the deregulation and privatization of the means of social reproduction, it has been easy to blame shift the less attractive effects of the dominant paradigm of disinhibited-conformity-without-responsible-adult-agency, onto them.....which the Church was no more immune to than its enemies.
Sticking the knife into the hated Catholic church has been a regular and longstanding liberal 'industry', made even juicier by increasingly being able to blame church moral 'repression' (discipline) for its burgeoning latter day clerical moral failures......rather than the inevitable effect of the dominant consumer paradigm of 'liberation', whereof anything goes because anything does.
And like the 'Protocols', the Catholic Indian Residential school murder/genocide meme conflates old prejudices with new, which makes the new almost immune to critical analysis, just like 'The Protocols' were.

Great job debunking the indigenous propaganda. How about you tackle the Israeli/Zionist propaganda next? Maybe we can avoid WW3.
Thank you for giving a side to the story that most of the media will not touch.
Filled with informative detail.

...he nailed it!
Trips, sports, bands, plays, grad events, reunions…cultural empowerment was on display at these schools, not genocide.
