In your Trump-loving, Muslim-hating conspiracy-laden world, the same old same old. Last time you spammed this message was November 2010... I suppose this is another attempt to malign those whose beliefs are different than yours.

The response? Same now, as then:

"Early in his life, Douglas was among many who subscribed to a then-global belief in eugenics.'

en.wikipedia.org

However, he later REPUDIATED his position.

"Instead, Douglas implemented vocational training for the mentally handicapped and therapy for those suffering from mental disorders. (It may be noted that two Canadian provinces, Alberta and British Columbia, had eugenics legislation that imposed forced sterilization. Alberta's law was first passed in 1928 while B.C. enacted its legislation in 1933.) It was not until 1972 that both provinces repealed the legislation."

By comparison, Douglas' approach was humane and informed.

You tell a half-truth, consistent with previous absurd posts: Message 26217094
