The guy the school was originally named for was actually pro-Injun, but that doesn’t help him now
Indians do not care if a school is named after them. The only thing Indians care about is getting drunk and getting free money from the casino.
The Jews and women who promote this “evil white man” narrative do so to hurt whites. Nothing they do ever helps nonwhites. (Seriously, name one thing.)
Sir Matthew Begbie Elementary School, located in Vancouver, Canada, has been renamed to “wək̓ʷan̓əs tə syaqʷəm,” which means “the sun rising over the horizon.”
Vancouver School Board (VSB) superintendent Helen McGregor said that the name change came as the school district sought to reconcile Canada’s past offenses against the Musqueam people – who are natives of Vancouver.
“Asking Musqueam to gift the school a hən̓q̓əmin̓əm̓ name is one way the District is showing its commitment to continuing our reconciliation journey,” McGregor said, according to a press release. “It increases the knowledge, awareness, appreciation of and respect for Musqueam history, language, tradition, culture and contributions.”
A ceremony was held in celebration of the school’s new name and building, which was built to withstand an earthquake and cost $22.4 million.
Thank you @jarmstrongbc for sharing this. My uncle Larry Grant teaching students how to pronounce the name of their school in the Musqueam language. If these kids can do it this easily I am sure you can too. @musqueam @VSB39 @GlobalBC #vanpoli #firstnations #indigenouslanguages pic.twitter.com/LG05RGEH8R

The school was previously named after Sir Matthew Begbie, the first Chief Justice of the Crown Colony of British Columbia, according to Vancouver City News.
The outlet reported that Begbie became known as “the hanging judge” for his role in the 1864 execution of five Tsilhqot’in Chiefs who were accused of murdering settlers.
The Canadian government apologized for the hanging in 2014 and later exonerated the hanged Chiefs in 2018.
It’s not reasonable to assert that every nonwhite who was ever executed for crimes throughout all of history were innocent.
It’s also not reasonable to claim that whites were just killing random people for no reason. We’ve been over this with the whole “lynching” thing – blacks were not even specifically targeted by lynchings; they targeted rapists, and it just so happens that 2/3rds of the rapists were black.
Everything on earth is more reasonable than this word, however.
