"The whisky brought among us by the traders is fast killing us off," said Crowfoot. "We are powerless before this evil. We are unable to resist the temptation to drink when brought in contact with the white mans water. Our horses buffalo robes and other articles of trade go for whiskey."

Above all else, MacDonald was a visionary nationalist with a strong moral compass. When the indian massacre at Cypress Hills occurred he formed a federal police force to establish law and order in the west. He curbed the whiskey trade to the gratitude of the F.N. who seem today to have forgotten his friendship. The malicious slander of his name and the decimation of his statutes today is a morally repugnant sacrilege of his contributions and his rightful position in Canadian history.

“To be ignorant of what occurred before you were born is to remain always a child. For what is the worth of human life, unless it is woven into the life of our ancestors by the records of history?”

I'm proud to say that my great-grandmother's sister married Joseph Pope, the private secretary of McDonald

Excellent. The grassroots pushback against the ideology and politicization of everything within the DIE framework is really only getting started. Once the Establishment and school boards decided to hide little secrets from parents, and parents find out (which has started happening) there will be hell to pay. The school boards have no idea what is coming, they have only seen just the initial drips of what will become a hurricane.

I should add that I am pretty confident that the Establishment and school boards already know that parents would never accept their secret/confidentiality policies, which is why (although their are technically public documents, so the can't get caught on technicalities) they are not actually publicized, and thus most parents have no idea. I suspect (but have no proof) this is deliberate, and I am pretty sure the gender activists and Establishment generally are not happy that more parents are spreading the word.

it's also possible that in their total moral arrogance, the teaching establishment doesn't consider their actions in any way nefarious, such that negative terms like "hiding" and "secret" could be conceived by them--they may well believe what they are doing is all-virtuous, and even a moral imperative, so keeping parents in the dark would simply be a productive part of their mission.

I could agree with that. It is becoming obvious that they live in their own little ideological world that is very abstracted from real life, real people with real concerns. I say this especially about the insider bureaucratic class in the school system that are largely anonymous.

I still have a sense that many of them intuitively sense that most parents would never agree to these confidentiality (secrecy) clauses, because it really appears they go to pains to not publicize their policies (even though they are technically public). I do think that some of them think they know better than ordinary parents and are morally superior to (the common people, the great unwashed), and thus are justified in implementing these policies. But parents WILL find out (I am starting to do what I can to make that happen), and most will be pretty upset.
