Canada has been having a George Floydâlike meltdown over âunmarked gravesâ at boarding schools, which is spun to make them sound like the Katyn Forest, but is more like students died of TB back before penicillin and then the Indian community has failed to keep their grave markers maintained. But it all serves to justify a cultural revolution to denigrate the heroes of the Old Canadians so that the New Canadians donât have to be reminded that You Didnât Build Canada.
Hence, the American leader of the vast coalition in which the Old Canadians won World War II must go.
From the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation:
Londonâs Roosevelt Public School gets new name
The east London [Ontario] school will now be called Forest City Public School
CBC News ¡ Posted: Mar 29, 2023 4:15 AM PDT
F.D. Roosevelt Public School will now be called Forest City Public School.
Members of the school community put forward the new name, and Thames Valley District School Board (TVDSB) trustees supported the change last night.
Roosevelt is located on Second Street in east London and is named after the American president who served as the top politician in the United States from 1933 to 1045.
The school was renamed because âF.D. Rooseveltâs historical connection to racism and controversial approach to Jewish refugees during the Holocaust, which are inconsistent with the school boardâs values and commitments to human rights and equity,â the school board said in a statement.â
And what about FDRâs redlining, which cost each African-American living today umpty-ump megabucks that must be reparated in cash?
As an American historical political figure, Rooseveltâs legacy also has limited relevance to the TVDSB community.
After all, what relevance does the leader of the coalition that won WWII have to do with a bunch of random migrants from all over the world? For example, FDR was friends with Churchill and many Hindus hate Churchill for opposing independence for India in 1935.
F.D. Roosevelt, the 32nd American president, oversaw the internment of Japanese-Americans during the Second World War and the prevention of Jewish refugees from coming into the United States during the war.
In more minor matters, FDR also won the Big One. But who can remember that? Or wants to remember that?
The name change is part of a board-wide review of names to make sure schools named after people reflect a âcommitment to human rights, equity and inclusive learning environments,â the statement said.
