Egerton Ryerson was not only an architect of the Residential School System but also opposed education of women beyond elementary school. I get that it was different times, but when your main claim to fame is being on the wrong side of debates about human rights, why are we naming schools after these people? It would be like naming schools after someone currently opposed to gay rights.
