Like Chemawa, in Oregon. That was more a cultural version of genocide (soft genocide?) than a response to religion. But the Trumpies may be planning their own version of religious re-education camps as I type.Quote:

Did I miss a constitutional amendment, making English our national language?Quote:

If they had looked different, they probably would have ended up in interment camps, like the Japanese, or the Native American's.
On top of that, there are those that say we don't even speak English. When looking for a translation dictionary, English to English, you will find it as British to American.
And this is not ancient history, this was in many of our lifetimes, certainly mineQuote:

As someone who is not good with languages myself, I could only survive in other countries because so much of the world speaks English.
I have friends who went to these. They're not that old.Quote:

Not only did Hillary take the 85006 but we are ramping up our efforts to be a sanctuary zip code for all in the low human rights Trump Years. Anyone who enters the 85006 with a serious issue, we want then to be able to find a designated area with access to free help. So there's something positive for when the snotty white rich kids drive in from the suburbs looking to start blank....arrests for them and assistance for their victims. Also this is meant for DV victims and substance abusers. We refuse to sink behind in the 85006 due to the recent atrocious leadership decision. Rob
Specific terrors regarding potential human rights abuses during the Trump Years that keep up residents of the 85006 late at night: More police brutality due to sociopaths behind the badge feeling emboldened to kill at will with no legal leg to stand on.....cops thinking they can suddenly get away with this again due to Trump's win. (How do you even begin to forgive the United States for such evil? Beats me.) Also, among the large Hispanic population in the 85006, there is a great deal of terror of trigger happy sociopathic border agents, which are even harder to get charges to stick to. And Trump wants to triple their numbers! Watch for more murders of innocent Hispanics with people desperately camping outside embassies in Washington DC desperately seeking to middle finger America - as it so richly deserves on this one - via political asylum to another country. This is not far off......Smart people will watch for it as it may usher in easier political asylum for those who can't bear the regime another day. And that's my latest update on this thread. Interesting nightmare we have looming before us, no? Just remember, some will have the brains to use this all to start over or at least finish out their time under less nightmarish conditions elsewhere. Respect these people, these are the victors. Rob
You get a lot of that?Quote:

So many questions.
Are these the "Indian Schools?"Quote:
