crying in zoom school III
professor publishes a letter
on “canada day”
genocide never happened here
not on this landno such grounds for such a claim
professor will be offended
if we accuse him
of what he’s not committed
differing interpretations are to be expected
God Forbid history be
wrongfully convictedwe write to express our grave disappointment in the attacks to the profession of
historians
it was only anassassination
assimilation
attempt
in insisting that there is only one valid interpretation of history, you have
fundamentally broken the norms and expectations of professional scholarship
still professor insists
we dig up graves
we search for sisters
we dust off records
we drag lakes
we keep up the Act
we demand the council retract its statement and commit itself to the real mission of
upholding the values of open scholarly debate
who knew the white man
got so red in the face
