Complicity: giving billions of dollars worth of drill bits and cannibal recipes
to Jeffrey Dahmer
A teacher at a Canadian high school has put into question the wisdom or appropriateness of holding an educational pow-wow at the school.
I just want to mention that "separation of church and state" is a European concept that was necessary to defend populations against the genocidal nature of European religious practices. It is not appropriate to apply European "patches" to the cultures that their religions helped eradicate.
To make an analogy, it is not necessary to buy anti-virus protection for a notebook. And it is not necessary to separate church and state unless both of these are fascistic organizations seeking totalitarian control.

Leaked email cites 'spiritual' nature of event, likens it to a priest holding a prayer vigil with communion
Indigenous students at Fredericton High School and First Nations leaders feel disgusted and discouraged after a teacher allegedly opposed a powwow held at the school earlier this week.
St. Mary's First Nation Chief Allan Polchies Jr. shared an email Clifford Cull sent to fellow staff about the May 21 event.
In it, the science teacher criticizes the school for hosting the powwow during instructional time. He claims he contacted Education Minister Bill Hogan and confirmed "these type [of] spiritual meetings are not endorsed" by the department.
Cull likens the cultural celebration that includes traditional drumming, dance, arts, crafts and food, to "having a priest come into FHS and do a prayer vigil with communion and the stations of the cross."
"There is an expectation for there to be a separation of state and 'church,'" the email says.
"I am asking that if there is to be a powwow at FHS it be done during non instructional times such as lunchtime or after school."...
