Even without the overt emphases on race, class, and gender discrimination, the biometric, psychometric, statistical, pedagogical, and curricular detritus of eugenics remains for willing researchers to uncover. (Kohlman, 1948, 658)
The history of eugenics in curriculum and its teaching in schools is gradually being rediscovered as a new generation of scholars reveals evidence that had been forgotten, suppressed, and hidden. One of the leaders in this field is Professor Steven Selden of the University of Maryland. He has written a comprehensive book and numerous journal articles on the incorporation of eugenics into curriculum, textbooks, and educational programs in America. (Kohlman, 1948, 667)
Another persistent and perplexing dimension of eugenics education for American eugenicists and their educational agents was eugenics education for girls and women. (Kohlman, 1948, 676)
The peak of eugenic education for women did not occur until the 1930s when the impacts and social dislocations of the Great Depression fostered a new focus on the family, traditional morality, and gender roles. (Kohlman, 1948, 679)
