Why even have a meeting over it, we already know they will remove his name from everything. Why even act like they aren’t considering it.
In evaluating the moral weight to be given a charge of support of eugenics by an individual in early twentieth century, notice should be given to the 1927 decision of the Supreme Court in Buck v Bell which upheld the state-sponsored sterilization of the “feeble minded”. In the opinion for the Court written by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes, the fabled jurist observed that “three generations of imbeciles are enough”. When law schools blackball Holmes, I will be sympathetic to the pathetic gesture of renaming the Jordan River.
Dr. David S. Jordan was a giant in the field of education in his day, and he wasn’t a ‘monster’ (or a thought criminal) until the 21st century made him one. When will colleges and universities wake up and stop responding to the puling, imaginary ‘offenses’ that pass like air through the emotionally fragile brain pans of these overaged children? Moreover, when will alumni begin withholding their donations and finally bring this campus madness to an end?
The notion of eugenics and ‘selective breeding’ is at least as old as ancient Sparta, and doubtless even older. The shunning of Creationism and the adoption of Darwinism with the progression of ‘logical’ thought that descended from it could have ONLY led the scientists and anthropologists of the period to conclude that eugenics was a useful method of improving the human race. ‘Survival of the fittest’ seemed to mean that if you started mingling stronger, smarter, natural leaders and Big Thinkers, you’d go on to create a whole population of babies just like them eventually. Moreover, biologists, anthropologists and sociologists frequently agreed that, given time, you could breed out the lazy, the criminal, the war-monger, and the ‘congenitally’ ignorant, thus curing society of poverty, crime and war.
This wasn’t fringe stuff. This was all state of the art scientific theory from the 1880s for a half-century and more, all the way up until Nazism showed the world the ultimate result of that ‘logical progression,’ immediately drawing an end to the West’s experimentation with it. There have been repeated allegations that the Japanese, the Soviets, the Chinese, the North Koreans and other states have obscured their own historical – and even modern -dabblings and tinkerings with eugenics. But what is, after all, artificial insemination, messing about with genetic code, and gene splicing today, but an extension of eugenics without the messy part of copulation or openly acknowledging race preferences? And will IU’s Med School luminaries of today who are experimenting in these fields be reclassified as criminals a century from now?
Stop rewriting the past.
Wonder if Margaret Sanger’s name was on a building would consider removing it?
