29 май 1850 г. - 'Common Schools Act'
(passed, 1850)
Описание:
"[After the 'Act of Union' (1840), s]egregation was soon given a more official sanction by the Common Schools Act of 1850, which formally reinforced and entrenched the practice (Silverman 1985: 129, 134). Both these acts were premised on the association between Blackness and danger. Black children, it was believed, would have a morally corrupting influence on white children (K. McLaren 2008: 7). Yet the uniquely Canadian iteration of segregation took the form of outwardly expressed benevolence. Canadian officials denied the presence of any racial discrimination even as Black students were segregated."
