The Pope Apologized. Some Conservatives Are Denying Residential School Horrors Anyway

As usual, in the interest of open and free debate, posted below is another thoroughly rhetorical mainstream view labelling anyone demanded verified evidence of the alleged atrocities at Canada’s Indian Residential Schools “denialists," a specious and anti-Semitic analogy to Holocaust denial.

Your comments are invited.

Which reader will be the first to reveal (with an appropriate reference) the person who actually said the function of the Indian Residential Schools was “to kill the Indian in the child?” Hint: it wasn’t a Canadian!

Which reader will be able discredit University of Manitoba’s Sean Carleton’s position that: “We need to understand denialism as a phenomenon, rather than as an individual expression,” Carleton said. “These arguments need to be challenged and discredited — not just ignored — otherwise it’ll hold up the colonial status quo and anti-Indigenous racism”?
