Schools Program: Government and Starkest Illustration

schools program: Sadly, good government has often been used as a pretext for overreaching into family affairs, according to Hamilton Spectator. Of all the episodes in our history, the residential schools program might be the starkest illustration of why families need protection from the government. It was established on the principles of peace, order and good government. The aim of the residential schools was allegedly to propagate the Christian faith and integrate aboriginal people into Canadian society. And it went directly after the children. In practice, it was a politically correct pretense for violating aboriginal families. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
