Officials in North Carolina have fessed up to a eugenics program that ran from 1929 to 1974.  At least 7000 people were sterilized against their will!

The NAZI eugenics program in Germany was simply a copy of what was already taking place in the United States and United Kingdom.  Reports say the U.S. eugenics programs started in some states as early as 1907!  Poor people, mentally and physically handicapped, prisoners, orphans and even children of alcoholics were targeted under a program that got it’s start under Queen Victoria of the evil British Empire.  Documents show at least 60000 people were sterilized in the U.S., 20000 in California alone (and those are the official numbers)!

In North Carolina you could even accuse your neighbor’s daughter of being promiscuous, and that was enough to get her sterilized!

At the beginning of July it was revealed that California was still conducting eugenics in women’s prisons, even though the Golden State officially ended eugenics in the late 1970s.

North Carolina’s elected leaders have agreed to payout $10 million USD to the victims.  The governor still has to sign it into law.  I wonder how many victims have died?  If the governor signs the compensation into law the payments won’t be made until 2015.  How many more victims will be dead by then?
