Reaction paragraph:

 Residential schools

Residential schools were a horrible place where people were taken away from their family for years on end. The idea of these schools in our modern society is simply horrifying. I think that the residential schools were an act of genocide against Canadian First Nations. I see that the purpose of residential schools were to kill the Indian in a child. I feel that it is terrible the amount of neglect the children in the residential schools suffered. It seems that these schools were orchestrated to trick First Nation children into thinking that they were less than human because of their race and/or beliefs. In my opinion it is good that all the residential schools in Canada are finally closed. After all the neglect, torture, death and almost demise of the first nations culture people finally realized what was happening behind the closed doors of the residential schools and shut them down for good. It won’t fix the people that have been scared by the horrible things that happened at the residential schools but is a huge step forward for racial equality.
