People who are supportive of eugenics ALWAYS resent it when they are reminded how much they agree with the Nazis.

And the Nazis were agreeing with Americans when they did it.

Our eugenics program was a model for their own.

Do you resent that?

I am well aware that the eugenics movement was founded by Charles Darwin’s cousin Francis Galton and later led by Darwin’s son Leonard. I am also aware that eugenics was encouraged in the United States by the likes of Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. and Margaret Sanger.

I’m not sure if “resent” would be the word I would use, but I deplore this part of American history just as I deplore slavery.
