To elaborate on my previous point...
Most of the enrollment into indian residential schools was VOLUNTARY, and the schools were often located on the indian reserve itself. In most cases the children went home to their parents every night. They weren't "yanked away" like a car being repo'd.

There is no such thing as "cultural genocide". It's called "cultural assimilation" as I've described already right from the DICTIONARY.
You are mistaken, and you have no argument.

Don’t take long to google that to find out I was correct.
I started off by saying that NO genocide occurred here, and you KNEW what I meant when I used that word.
Instead of saying: "yeah, you're right", you are taking a separate issue and equating it with the word genocide.
People misuse the word genocide when they want to provoke a strong reaction to an otherwise trivial event. It's no different than someone trying to claim a playful wink as "rape".
Indians were assimilated into our culture to fit in.
The word ASSIMILATION exists for a reason, and it perfectly describes the situation that occurred in IRS.
As the Borg would say:
"Resistance is futile. You will be assimilated."
The government didn't build IRS and hire teachers to execute indian children. They built IRS to educate them, most notably in OUR culture and OUR ways. It's cultural assimilation. We agreed.
What's wrong with quoting Star Trek? It was a great show. 🙂
I started off by saying that NO genocide occurred in IRS, and you KNEW exactly what I meant when I used that word.
Let's see if you can pervert the word "murder" like you have with the word genocide:
Claim: "No MASS MURDERS occurred in IRS."
