It's well-accepted that the questionable science of eugenics was derived from concepts established by Darwinian evolution. There were social eugenics experiments all around the world in the early 20th century (not just in Nazi Germany, but in the UK and USA as well).

Why dispute a minor detail that is acknowledged by nearly everyone familiar with the subject? Is this the kind of rationale they teach these days? "Hm, I've never encountered that particular bit of trivia before, therefore it can only be false!"

Darwinism can be defended without falling into the mistake of trying to defend Eugenics as well.

LOL

I am a lover not a fighter Mr. Clark. No attempt to be harsh, but writing while in class and pissy at this teacher who is 65 and trying to teach us about "internet user trends."

Painful – though we do rule certain quadrants of the ever expanding universe.

oh J,

Saw it. Loved Ben Stein for YEARS.

Yes, he has no cred b/c his assumptions are bat-shit insane.

The liberal part is the funniest of all…so thank you for the laughter. I think you are missing the greater claim that intellectualism/Darwinistic thoughts drove the Holocaust.
