ALBERT EINSTEIN, GENIUS AND PHYSICIST ON EDUCATION POLICY TREATMENT OF JEWS IN GERMANY
Albert Einstein wrote in 1936 on the ill treatment of Jewish children in German public schools where base stereotypes of Jewish people were portrayed in the classrooms and curriculum taught pupils that Jews were evil people in the textbooks. He wrote, "Nobody will maintain that the [school] administration and the attitude of the teachers do not have an influence upon the molding and the psychological foundation for pupils. The worst thing seems to be for a school principally to work with methods of fear, force, and artificial authority; such treatments destroy the sound sentiments, the sincerity, and the self-confidence of the pupil. It produces the submissive subject. It is no wonder that such schools are the rule in [Nazi] Germany and [Communist] Russia. I know schools in this country [United States] are free from this worst evil." Of course Einstein was unaware of the century long "kill the Indian, save the child" education-genocide of Indian children in Christian Church schools, Government boarding schools, and public schools in America. The history books, textbooks, and the disciplinary policy of the public schools on the reservation produce a 50% drop-out rate in Browning Public Schools for decades, which is a form of genocide that predisposes a child to a life of poverty, drug and alcohol abuse, self-destructive behaviors in car wrecks, and gang activity, poor diet and nutrition due to tribal poverty. "Institutional Racism" in Browning Public Schools is the biggest cause of juvenile delinquents and unemployment on the reservation and are the cause of the failure of public education for the Blackfeet people for generations. The new public school on the hill is a gross insult to the parents of the Blackfeet Children and the Browning community; it means the school superintendent and school board views the Indian parents as the problem instead of the racist white teachers, alcoholic superintendents and teachers, sadists that come to Browning to beat up our children, and some Indian educators who are secretly ashamed of being Indian. Our children are the victims of the school district and unless we do something about it "education-genocide" will continue unabated. My dad fought in World War Two against Hitler and the Nazi's, and my mother fought to give the children a decent meal even in the threat of losing her job and she fought for children not her own against racist white teachers. She once told a racist white teacher "if you don't like it here get back on that boat and go back where you came from, we don't live behind that "Iron Curtain" here," We will get justice when we demand it, so I am doing research right now to bring a class-action lawsuit against School District Nine and Browning Public Schools for gross racism and maltreatment of Blackfeet schoolchildren by the superintendent and school board. The fact that defendants are Blackfeet/Cree/White is a psychological problem of theirs in self-hate and white racism that needs the attention of the Office of Civil Rights and Justice Department. I welcome the help of parents of injured children in the lawsuit. We need to begin to organize the parents. Bob Juneau Sr.

EDUCATION GENOCIDE OF INDIAN CHILDREN DOCUMENTED IN SURVEY OF MONTANA SCHOOLS IN 2013
The roots of Indian education genocide began with the "kill the Indian, save the child" Indian education policy of the United States Government Assimilation Policy to strip the Indian child of his culture, religion, traditions, and history and convert him to a white child, Christian religion, and a permanent object of ridicule and second-class citizens of the United States. The truth is that Indians have not had a problem "assimilating" into the new order of things and the new economy. The Blackfeet Indians built a successful, self-reliant cattle industry on the reservation by 1893, that made the Indian ranchers rich and satisfied in the new economy. Border-whites are white men who build their rich-man dreams on stealing Indian land and property and encroaching on Indian land and robbing oil wells, cattle herds, and grazing lands of Indian reservations. Public schools do not teach the true history of Montana's role in robbing the Indians and reducing the Indians to a century of poverty, all the while labeling Indians as "savages" and in particular, the Blackfeet Indians are remembered in Montana history books as "bloodthirsty savages" who needed to be exterminated to make room for the Christian settlers and freedom and liberty of white people. Quite the opposite is true, as the white men robbed, killed and scalped Blackfeet men, women and children at Fort Benton, and brought the scalps into the town for drunken scalp dances and to redeem $50 bounties for each scalp, with Indian baby scalps prized because "nits make lice" as the Montana border-whites expressed infanticide of Indian children. It is a century of shame for any Christian people and American citizens to bear, but they do not have to bear the shame as it is placed on the Indian victims. There is a study done by the Federal Department of Education in 2013 in which the professional consultant described "education genocide" of Indian school children in Montana Public Schools, whereby he described to the roomful of mean-faced Montana educators that Indian children outperform white children until the 4th grade when they suddenly shut down and fall behind, and the realization comes over them that the system is not geared for them, as only a child can tell by the environment of the classroom. The State Superintendent of Public Instruction has not publicly commented on the "education genocide" of Indian children in Montana Public Schools, why did we send her there? Has she buried it? You would assume that public schools on Indian reservations administered by Indian school board and Indian superintendent would save the Indian children under their care, but not so at Browning Public Schools which has a 50% drop-out rate and severe disciplinary policies that traumatize the children, who need psychological counseling from mental injury suffered in Browning schools. It is a fact! Many former students are suffering from mental depression and anxiety documented by Social Security Disability Program psychologists who traced the students mental problems right to Browning schools. I am trying to bring the problem to the public attention of Blackfeet parents of students in Browning schools to change the problem and to get help for damaged former students, and students who are being damaged as we speak, it is real! I want to start a class-action lawsuit against Glacier County for these injuries. And, I want our tribal government to get behind the Blackfeet parents and support our children! Bob Juneau Sr.

EDUCATION CONFERENCE ON TREATMENT OF BLACKFEET CHILDREN IN BROWNING SCHOOLS
It has been over a century since a Blackfeet Reservation, Indian Education Conference among Blackfeet Parents and Children has been held to ascertain whether Browning Public Schools and public education has brought progress and prosperity to students and graduates. We want to survey the fate of the 50% drop-out rate of Blackfeet children in Browning Public Schools K-12 and find any psychological damages incurred at the schools by racist white teachers, alcoholic teachers and administrators who come to school with hangovers and take it out on the children or harsh discipline. Our Blackfeet ancestors were enthusiastic about education as a prerequisite to living in the new order of things but questionable disciplinary policy and practices led to students running away from school, and parents becoming alarmed at the ill treatment of Blackfeet children by white teachers, administrators, and school officials. White teaching methods and separation of parents from children in schools has been a social problem on the reservation as well as a lack of relevant class content that illustrates the heroic struggle of Blackfeet Chiefs to maintain a homeland for the people is portrayed as "bloodthirsty" savages holding up progress instead of the truth of defending tribal homelands from encroaching whites, who are portrayed as patriotic "Americans" resulting in psychological damage to Blackfeet children, who need to be educated on their place in the world.
SURVEY IS FOR BLACKFEET PARENTS ONLY! NO SCHOOL OFFICIALS WANTED!
1. comments on teaching methods of Blackfeet Culture compared to public school teaching methods
2. Blackfeet traditions in discipline of children compared to public school disciplinary practices
3. history and culture of the Blackfeet nation and tribe-how did the white man get on the reservation?
4. to compile every criticism of public schools from every Blackfeet parent who has had or is experiencing problems with their child attending Browning Public Schools-your anonymous public opinions will guide the future of Browning schools in proper teaching methods, proper treatment and discipline of Blackfeet children, curriculum content, and advise on improving the 50% drop-out rate of Blackfeet children in public schools. It is not necessary to name individuals at this time but we hope to generate class-action lawsuits to help our former public school students who have been psychologically damaged by Browning Public Schools, and cannot overcome their ill treatment and mental problems caused by the schools. For instance, there is help available for your child or adult graduate or drop-out in the Social Security Disability Program for disability payments and mental health counseling which does help the victims of Browning Public Schools to recover or become able to function. The state t.v. had an Education Expert on Public Education of Indian Schoolchildren in public schools in Montana which he called "Education Genocide" I am trying to find that analysis as it brings the problem to a focus and outlines the causes of Indian drop-outs. I will post a short history of public and government school education on the Blackfeet Reservation later. Bob Juneau Sr.
