That's it? I know the US isn't exactly the same as Canada, but even if our system wasn't as bad on a per-capita basis, since we're a much more populous country I'd have assumed we'd find at least as many as they have (4118 as of 2021, according to the first search result I looked at).
That is an official undercount, as it is only having checked 65 of the 400 schools in existence.
An academic estimates based on population losses and speaking to the families who have lost children, that over 40,000 perished in the system.
This is also only graves found, as many children were lost in transit or got lost fleeing the schools. Here's David Swallow Jr. (Oglala Lakota) explaining his experience with the schools and running away. He was fortunate enough to know how to get home.
Objective, factual news you can rely on. Or at least as close to it as you can get in this day and age.
Rules
No name-calling, trolling, ad-homs, personal attacks, strawmanning, or disrespectful or abusive behavior toward any other member. Egregious use of logical fallacies will be considered trolling and dealt with accordingly.
This should go without saying, but any homophobia, transphobia, racism/sexism/any kind of -ism is not allowed. “It’s just a joke” is not an excuse. Any sort of needling to try to convince the mods or anyone else to accept such behavior is not acceptable either.
Please respect our community and don’t use it to post spam, porn, gore, or any other disruptive content.
Posts can only be links to reputable news sources. Sources that are or at least try to be objective are the only ones allowed. Propaganda rags like Breitbart and RT are not allowed.
The only exception to this rule are meta posts discussing serious issues with the sub itself, and for those:
Any meta threads or discussions, suggestions, etc. needs to be tagged with [Meta] in the title, that way it’ll be easier for mods to find. If you have any issues with another member or what-have-you, please message a mod.
Please for the love of all that is holy, don't argue with mods in the comments. If you have an issue, take it to DMs.
Rules subject to change based on need.
