A new book details the progressive movement’s reliance on eugenics and race science as well as its effort to exclude the disabled, blacks, immigrants, the poor, and women from full participation in American society.

The words “progress” and “progressive” evoke images of enlightened reformers selflessly promoting justice and overcoming ignorance and bigotry. I guarantee, however, that anyone who reads Thomas C. Leonard’s new book, “Illiberal Reformers: Race, Eugenics, & American Economics in the Progressive Era,” will be troubled—and, in many cases, shocked—by some of the motivations of the late nineteenth- and early twentieth-century progressives who sought to dismantle the American experiment in ordered liberty and replace it with the administrative state.

Uh, yup. Some folks would be surprised to learn how many of the U.S. "upper crust" were enthralled with some of these ideas. But, nazis........... Hope we didn't forget the enviro-wankers in the mix.

Soros was an actual nazi, and yet he’s welcomed with open arms as the liberals keep searching for phony nazis behind every tree

The Wall Street Journal had an article in the Weekend Section not too long ago (past couple of years), that said modern biology is identifying genetic differences between races, but nobody wants to talk about it.

I was surprised they did.

As I recall, he had no problem “directing” other Jews to their assigned luxury seating for their trip to parts unknown at the behest of the nazis.

“Race Science”.as conducted by Western “progressives”,would surely declare white people to be fundamentally,*breathtakingly*,inferior.And one doesn’t need to be a rocket scientist to figure out what would happen next.

India, Japan, Spain have banned it. My healthy 16 yr old granddaughter after getting her 3 injections is now on the lawsuit list, she now has Fibromyalgia and Rheumatoid Arthritis, neither are curable, drugs have horribly side effect riddled. Promising Ribbon Gymnast, sports active. Not any more. Her dumb mother didn’t do her homework and took the Ped’s advice that the unnecessary vaccine was needed. She was, nor is sexually active. Born a 2 lb preemie and never really had many sick days.
