Dr. Paul D. Tinari, Ph.D.[a 1][1], is a Canadian Métis, who was sent to live in a Residential School operated by the Catholic Church in Montreal when he was small boy. At the age of eight, he was held down and forcibly circumcised by a Catholic priest and a Jewish mohel, due to an allegation that he had masturbated.
Dr. Tinari, who resides in British Columbia, filed suit against the British Columbia Health Insurance Plan, which was forced to pay for a surgical foreskin restoration.[2]

Quote:Tinari, a Metis, describes being held down and circumcised as a young boy in what he says was “a routine form of punishment” for masturbation at residential schools. He claims that thousands of young native and Metis boys were circumcised during their stays in the residential school system.
