A newly revealed 2019 book burning in Canada has politicians and voters up in flames, with many denouncing the act - no matter the 'symbolic' intention.
and voters up in flames, with many denouncing the act - no matter the"symbolic" intention.
An Ontario francophone school – a school that mixes English and French lessons – initiated a"purification" ceremony in which it burned around 30 books of"questionable" content for"educational purposes." Ashes from the burned books were used as fertilizer for a tree. The Conseil scolaire catholique Providence, which oversees grade-school education in southwestern Ontario, did not make the ceremony public, but details about the event surfaced during the election campaign for the Indigenous People’s Commission. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau addressed the controversy during a campaign stop this week, saying,"On a personal level, I would never agree to the burning of books.
The prime minister did stress, though, that it is not for non-Indigenous people"to tell Indigenous people how they should feel or act to advance reconciliation." The project extended to thousands of books that were removed from libraries at 30 schools and have either been destroyed or are in the process of being recycled, but only the initial 30 were burned.
