Eugenicists targeted entire ethnic groups, the urban poor, rural White trash, the sexually deviant, Blacks, Jews, Native Americans, Asians, Latino\/as, and anyone who did not fit with the pseudo-scientifically established superior Nordic race. Education leaders, complaining of children of worm-eaten stock, established an enduring system to organize and sort students according to perceived societal worth. In exposing and addressing eugenics' place in our educational system, this book provides a groundbreaking addition to, and exceptional correction of, the history of curriculum in America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William F.
