Iran Press/ Middle East: "Poor Native American children were separated from their families, prohibited from speaking their languages, abused, raped, and finally dumped in mass graves. The U.S. yet still dares to lecture others on human rights," commenting on a link about 50 Native American boarding school burial sites published in Guardian's Britain, Gharibabadi tweeted.
According to a Guardian report, a US nationwide study of Native American boarding schools that for more than a century sought to assimilate indigenous children into white society has identified more than 400 such schools that the US government supported and more than 50 associated burial sites, a figure that could grow substantially.
The report released on Wednesday by the US interior department expands the number of schools that were known to have operated for 150 years, starting in the early 19th century and coinciding with the removal of tribes from ancestral lands.
