What Do You Mean They Never Closed?
Canada's Modern Foster Care System
I created a click bait article just like a real Newspaper :)..
- The Last Residential School closed in 1996.
- As we can tell by recent outrage in Canada, Residential Schools were not taught in our schools up until very Recently
- Ontario only added It to there Curriculum in 2019
Why History Must Be Taught
Our Foster Care system is a Continuation of the Residential School System
Providing Evidence
Our Foster Care System Is Broken
- Indigenous youth make up 7% of Canada's Youth
- But they make up 52% of our foster population
- Our foster care system serves the same purpose residential schools did...
- To remove Indigenous Canadians from there families and culture
The Foster care system has also been linked to Prisons
Title
Cindy Blackstock VS. The Government
- Blackstock is the Executive Director of the First Nations Child and Family Caring Society
- In 2007 they would begin a legal battle with the Canadian government that is still on going today
What Is Being Done?
What Needs To Be Done
The Ultimate Goal should be to allow Children to Remain with there families!
