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.

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.
