This is unbelievable! Not only were they sterilizing young women, but according to this report some boys were castrated and it further states they
targeted those they deemed homosexual. Wow, how sick!
Quote:
The Winston-Salem Journal obtained and examined thousands of these documents. It found that:
• More than 2,000 people ages 18 and younger were sterilized in many questionable cases, including a10-year-old who was castrated. Children were
sterilized over the objections of their parents, and the consent process was often a sham.
North Carolina's eugenics law, passed in 1929 and rewritten in 1933, allowed sterilizations for three reasons — epilepsy, sickness and
feeblemindedness. But the board almost routinely violated the spirit, if not the letter, of the law by passing judgment on many other things, from
promiscuity to homosexuality.
