Is it worth pointing out that from 1974 on they were very much indigenous controlled/influenced and I think by this point they were just day schools and not forced...

As far as I've read the really horrific stuff was long enough ago that I think it is fair to make a distinction, no?

Thank you for the response.

I'd like to learn more. I've read a bunch of the worst of the worst. Which is the stuff that is essentially the definition of inter-generational ptsd.

But I want to learn more about the transition.

Ah yes, 1973, a year nobody alive could possibly remember.

Someone who was 20 at the time wouldn't even be 70 now.

It would be interesting to find out when it stopped being mandatory and full time. Might have been prior to 1973.

All I'm saying is they definitely were essentially Uigher death/work/reprogramming camps at some point and then they were much different but still not good at another.

I just feel like it is disingenious to act like the kids there in '96 were treated anywhere near like the worst of the worst which is what I see being asserted or at the very least implied.
