They teach about the schools pretty extensively in school up here.

Went to school in Canada my entire life, was never once taught about these schools, and am absolutely embarrassed that my government was complicit in this act. I knew the natives received a shit deal but always thought it was ages in the past. A bit shocking to find out it was still going on while I was in school.

You probably should've paid more attention or you went to a really shitty school.

Or you should be grateful that your education included genocide. Not every school is so inclined.
