Notice too how evolution is getting lumped with things that I doubt were even in their curriculum. Was stem-cell research and cloning a part of the curriculum to begin with?

Socialism started with the animal rights activist Voltaire, then the animal rights activist Schopenhauer, then Darwin's promotion of sterilizing non-caucasian races by famine relief, then Wagner the animal rights activist, then Galton the promoter of eugenics and now Peter Singer the promoter of eugenics, animal rights, and famine relief. Turning people into domesticated animals has been in the curriculum since Eramus Darwin during the French Revolution.



"The cases which I have here given all relate to aborigines, who have
been subjected to new conditions as the result of the immigration of
civilised men. But sterility and ill-health would probably follow,
if savages were compelled by any cause, such as the inroad of a
conquering tribe, to desert their homes and to change their habits. It
is an interesting circumstance that the chief check to wild animals
becoming domesticated, which implies the power of their breeding
freely when first captured, and one chief check to wild men, when
brought into contact with civilisation, surviving to form a
civilised race, is the same, namely, sterility from changed conditions
of life.
Finally, although the gradual decrease and ultimate extinction of
the races of man is a highly complex problem, depending on many causes
which differ in different places and at different times; it is the
same problem as that presented by the extinction of one of the
higher animals- of the fossil horse, for instance, which disappeared
from South America, soon afterwards to be replaced, within the same
districts, by countless troups of the Spanish horse. The New Zealander
seems conscious of this parallelism, for he compares his future fate
with that of the native rat now almost exterminated by the European
rat. Though the difficulty is great to our imagination, and really
great, if we wish to ascertain the precise causes and their manner
of action, it ought not to be so to our reason, as long as we keep
steadily in mind that the increase of each species and each race is
constantly checked in various ways; so that if any new check, even a
slight one, be superadded, the race will surely decrease in number;
and decreasing numbers will sooner or later lead to extinction; the
end, in most cases, being promptly determined by the inroads of
conquering tribes."

"then Darwin's promotion of sterilizing non-caucasian races by famine relief..."

There was no reason to read your drivel any further after that whopper. Especially after seeing your extremely limited posting history. The only question is which retred you are. Ted, is that you?

Bye Troll!
