Ignorance, but whose?
The article, if you’d troubled to read it, quotes at length from teenage suicide-murderers who, themselves, attributed their actions to Darwin’s ideas, and quotes an 1881 letter from Darwin to a friend that jolly well sounds like he approved of ‘eugenic’ genocide.

LOTS of people of that era believed in eugenics, as well as other assorted nuttery like phrenology and Democrats. ;-)
People used to believe the world was flat, too. Should we write Copernicus out of our textbooks because he believed that the sun was the center of the entire universe instead of merely the center of the solar system?
And as far as attributing their actions to Darwin's ideas, nutballs will always find an excuse for such things... remember the stink about heavy metal music?
