Hear, hear! A welcome voice of reason in response to this truly bizarre proposal. I am so tired of all this revisionist history nonsense.  At page 5 of her wonderful book, "The March of Folly", the great American historian Barbara Tuchman quoted with approval an English historian who wrote: "Nothing is more unfair than to judge men of the past by the ideas of the present." I hate to imitate Donald Trump's phraseology (the man is "folly" personified), but there is currently a lot of "fake history" being disseminated out there, and I encourage everyone (but especially Ontario's elementary school teachers) to read as much history on their own as possible (including Tuchman and  Canada's Margaret MacMiillan), in order to come to their own historical conclusions, and then be in a better position to more "fairly judge" the reasoning for past government policies. Let's not give in to righteous moral bullies who want to impose their simplistic worldview on everyone else.
