While we often associate the New Deal with economic relief and cultural projects, a darker current ran through many of its agencies. This episode explores how eugenicist ideas, once mainstream in American science and law, influenced policy decisions during FDR’s presidency. We examine the case of Buck v. Bell, where Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes upheld forced sterilization, declaring that 'three generations of imbeciles are enough.' We meet Harry Laughlin, whose pseudo-scientific reports were used to justify these policies, and trace how figures like Carrie Buck became victims of state-sanctioned coercion. The conversation also looks at the resistance from within the government, including quiet objections from some New Dealers who saw the moral cost of such experiments. By understanding this hidden history, we see the complexity of an era defined by both hope and profound ethical failure. #NewDeal #FranklinRoosevelt #Eugenics #BuckvBell #CarrieBuck #HarryLaughlin #OliverWendellHolmes #ForcedSterilization #USHistory #SupremeCourt #SocialEngineering #PublicHealth #Ethics #FexingoHistory #HistoryPodcast #AmericanHistory #DisabilityRights #20thCentury #NorthAmerica Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
