As North Carolina considers whether to compensate living victims of a state forced-sterilization policy that lasted well into the 1970s, John Locke Foundation research into the topic has attracted national attention this week. Daren Bakst, JLF Director of Legal and Regulatory Studies, discussed forced sterilization and its ties to the eugenics movement with CNN’s “Newsroom,” the Wall Street Journal, the Washington- and New York-based Voice of Russia Radio Network, and WPTF Radio’s late-morning program. The Winston-Salem Journal cited JLF President John Hood in a column on eugenics. N.C. Senate Republicans’ daily press email highlighted a CarolinaJournal.tv video on eugenics featuring N.C. History Project Director Troy Kickler. The Lincoln Tribune published a Carolina Journal staff report on Bakst’s eugenics research.
