...the government of Canada has formally applogized to Native tribes for the practise of removing children from their families and placing them in state schools where they were beaten and sexually abused...this practise went on till 1970. The apology comes as the result of a lawsuit seeking damages.

...Australia did the same thing, also until the 1970s....thousands of children were removed from their families, forbidden to speak their nalanguagesm forced to forget their native customs....the people themsleves say this kind of treatment led to the awful rates of alcoholism and drug use on reservations...no doubt.

...But what is of interest here is that the state schools forced Christianity on the children. Imagine if an Islamic country could be shown to have done this sort of thing...taken children from their families and forced them to convert to Islam...and yet Jumblat and Minime will tell us that islam did these things...why do they say this? because THEIR religion did it and they want to smear others with their own slime.
