Imbeciles

the Supreme Court, American eugenics, and the sterilization of Carrie Buck

In 1927, the Supreme Court handed down a ruling so disturbing, ignorant, and cruel that it stands as one of the great injustices in American history. The court's decision allowed the sterilization of a young woman it wrongly thought to be "feebleminded," and championed the mass eugenic sterilization of undesirable citizens for the greater good of the country.
