Your regular reminder why we need to be teaching eugenics at all levels. People genuinely don't understand it and believe it's simply a thing of the past -- not that it's a persistent ideology that state control is necessary to deem some lives are worthless & not worth living. https://twitter.com/Aella_Girl/status/1249770743639863304 …
Yeah; I was homeschooled and had a sort of different education than most, so I think my relationship to the word is different. The definition doesn't say anything about state control, but from comments it seems like it implies state control, and that is really abhorrent to me.

I see several people have given you some articles to read. If you want to educate yourself, crowdsource from historians what you should read. Here's one to start: how eugenists ideals were implemented into American immigration laws & the impact from it.https://www.press.uchicago.edu/ucp/books/book/chicago/D/bo23467806.html …

Yeah I don't need to be convinced that eugenics has been used to fuck over minorities and the disabled in the past. I am 100% on board that train.
