Thank you for this article.  I've been disheartened, if not surprised, by the overwelming one-sided public response the ETFO motion.

Believing that the public does not lack empathy for indigenous peoples, the response highlights the  historical ignorance of much of the population.

This is squarely a failure of the education system and it's inability to accurately teach indigenous history (including cultural and actual genocide).

I liked you're idea to utilize teacher professional development days to teach teachers to teach real canadian history.
