Sterilization, Eugenics, Intelligence, Poverty and Race

Great piece by Nell Irvin Painter, taking on Charles Murray, from the New York Times, March 25, 2012.

"The stigmatization of poor white families more than a century ago should provide a warning: behaviors that seem to have begun in the 1960s belong to a much longer and more complex history than ideologically driven writers like Mr. Murray would have us believe."
