Maybe they should be taken down as well don't want a reminder to the South of how their plantations were burnt to the ground
The small rural towns of Mass GAR Memorials are just as prominent as the ones in the major cities and towns. Then again many of today's major cities and towns were small and rural back then.
Nothing like that in my part of Oklahoma. Though we do have a monument or two here in DC.
The indigenous people didn't want their kids taken away to be 'civilized'. Not much of a shock there.
But among white society, there were many voices who basically thought the natives were little more than animals. The very notion that they could be educated and then live together in white towns, villages and cities horrified them. MacDonald believed otherwise.
It was a shame, and a reflection of the arrogance of European culture at the time. It was not, however, a crime, and as misguided as it was, it was actually well-intentioned.
It's also no excuse for Indians to sit around the reservation doing nothing. What kind of "warrior" sits around drinking himself stupid and beating up his woman? In short hair and a business suit, I'm more of a "real" Shawnee warrior than that.
Tecumseh would beat them and drive them out.
An Indigenous MP, who called for the renaming of Ottawa's Langevin Block because of its namesake's role in the creation of the residential school system, said he does not feel the same way about stripping the name of Canada's first prime minister from public schools.
This week the Elementary Teachers' Federation of Ontario kicked off a national debate when delegates revealed they passed a motion that called on school districts to "examine and rename schools and buildings named after Sir John A. Macdonald."
This would be done, the motion said, "in recognition of his central role as the architect of genocide against Indigenous peoples."
"When we start effacing completely that history, and not recognizing it, then people can forget very readily what occurred. And so for me it's always important to have that anchor," Liberal MP Robert-Falcon Ouellette told Chris Hall, host of CBC's The House.
"Everyone has warts. That's what makes us human beings"
Macdonald is praised for rousing the support needed for Confederation, making it happen and then keeping the country together, but his legacy is also blemished by his support for residential schools, the Indian Act, and the hanging of Louis Riel.
Ouellette, originally from the Red Pheasant First Nation in Saskatchewan, said keeping Macdonald's names on schools allows teachers to reflect on the complexity of his character in Canadian history
The Winnipeg MP was one of a group of federal Indigenous politicians, including fellow Liberal Don Rusnak, Independent Hunter Tootoo and New Democrat Roméo Saganash, who called on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to rename the building housing the Prime Minister's Office so that survivors of residential schools would not be perpetually reminded of a man who "devastated their lives."
The building was named after Hector-Louis Langevin, a Father of Confederation and a prominent member of Macdonald's cabinet, who was also a proponent of the creation of the schools to assimilate First Nations children,

This really gives good teachers a bad name.
Some of the most abusive bunch of alcoholic haters ever have been teachers.
I had one once who was such a bully he was barred from teaching in the US and got a job here in Ontario.
oh well more proof unions will rot your brains

You mean all those wars and brushfires didn't happen/aren't happening? Red fascists aren't roaming the streets looking to beat the shit out of anyone who disagrees with them? Religitards aren't being religitards? Oh yeah, we've come a long way, dumbass.
Nah, I'll just emulate your red fascist heroes instead and go sucker-punch some Trudopians because they voted for a red fascist sympathizer.
So even a light-hearted post taking a jab at human stupidity requires you to mention Trump you f*cking Trudopian retard?
What's the matter cupcake, do you honestly have that much problem with reality? "Ehrmergherd, Jin casually and humorously poked fun at a human fault, he must be a Trumptard, duhhhhh".
Question: How long have you been under the delusion that you're human?
Oh my, it appears the hero of Canadian socialism, Tommy Douglas, had a major problem with gay people. Funny how he was voted the "greatest Canadian ever" though, eh?
I guess we need to rename the schools named after him and dismantle everything we have because of him, right? The NDP should also be banned since it's also part of his legacy.
See how this game works? Like I said, if we keep destroying everything that someone finds offensive we won't have anything left.
In her moral superiority she tends to do that . It comes from being an underdog and all . What with free education and affirmative action she attained an internet law degree and must use it .
There you go making sense again . Yikes get with the program .
Im mot sure you're in any position to lecture until you have you're emotional hatred of white peopleundwr control.
Considering your seething rage, I suspect you feel the same way about it.
And you don't like it. :lol:
It is well documented that Tec is a white man hater. His racist sexist hatred of white males is off the charts.
