In fact, I would take it a step further and promote new eugenic measures to attack the root cause of the problem: the lower average IQ and less average civilized temperament of black and brown people. A negative income tax should be instituted to help honest workers get by and to encourage participation in the work force. Persistently unemployed people (excluding SAH parents coupled with a working mate)—of all races—should be discouraged from breeding in the form of cash payments for remaining childless or even rewards for sterilization. Criminals—of all races—should be offered sterilization in exchange for cash (a much smaller amount than non-criminals) and perhaps early release. Working couples with children, especially higher performing ones—of all races—should be given bonuses for having more children.Bryan Caplan wrote an article criticizing the concept of eugenics, reminding us that society needs lower IQ people to do less skilled work and to demand the services of higher IQ individuals. However, this would be a problem only in a society that already has a high mean IQ. If blacks and Hispanics could be brought up to the white mean IQ, society would certainly benefit, and after all, isn't this already the goal of NCLB and "Race to the Top" and other hare-brained schemes, if executed in a way that ignores the genetic nature of ability? |
