You’re simply wrong. They were not created just for education. They were made to destroy indigenous culture, which cause irreparable harm. It doesn’t do any good whatsoever to try and sympathize with the colonizers. It just makes him look like an awful person with backwards views. Canada was wrong then and it’s wrong now.
The gov at the time thought their culture was crappy because natives were very poor and uneducated etc. They thought that educating them via assimilation and turning them into "normal Canadians" would help them. They were very, very wrong.
O'Toole didn't really say anything wrong.
