If you grow up in a Christian country, which I did, you expect people to be good.
No, I expect them to be hypocritical, as they were during my childhood, when I was a pupil in a christian school, with rampant bullying, but everyone at mass, sucking up to the teachers.
The residential schools were difficult, but pedagogy up until the ‘60’s was brutal everywhere.
Sure, it was brutal, but for some reason, we did not find unmarked graves in non-native boarding schools.
