Eugenics Alive and well.....

[treee]

My favorite part is where he starts off with this:

Quote:Judge Sam Benningfield was elected in a nonpartisan election to the General Sessions Court in White County, Tennessee, and probably did not run as a progressive

but then goes on to pin the prevalence of eugenics in the early 20th century on some progressive agenda, rather than the fact that eugenics was a prevailing perspective across many cultures and social groupings at the time. This was a time where things such as child labor, lobotomies, and incarceration of women into asylums for hysteria were still very much a reality. 

Let's just play his game and blame the crucifixion of Jesus on conservatism, since they were just trying to preserve their society's values at the time.
