The girls (ages 6, 6 & 10) were asking about the residential schools (much in the news), so I explained (in language appropriate to kids) Canadian history of colonialism & racism. A grim but necessary parental duty. I assume @DamonLinker & @sullydish will upbraid me for CRT

Like Sam Harris or Richard Dawkins treating every religious believer like an idiot fundamentalist in order to ease their refutation of religion, you, Jeet, would like very much to turn me into a defender of the "1776 Project." Sorry, but it sounds like you did great w your kids.

My point is the roots of this stuff is actual issues parents & kids are facing as racism is in the news (and, sadly often, racism encountered in real life). That's what at core of current educational debates.
