This comment will likely vanish but the truth is that residential schools were built to educate the children and get them out of  their terrible living conditions. It is not an uncommon practice. Even today around the world schools are built for the poor and disadvantaged. That said the educators committed evil acts and for that they should be exposed and punished. The questions I have is why are the evil acts and wrong doings on the reserves today not being publicly exposed and punished, crime sexual violence and drugs run rampant. Why the double standard and why do we sit back and do nothing to address the problem.
