Schmucker Science Center, West Chester University, Pa

Samuel C. Schmucker Science Center is getting renamed. Schmucker is a eugenicist. Schmucker is quite prolific — The Meaning Of Evolution (Macmillan 1913) and Heredity and Parenthood (Macmillan 1929) and a number of other books and articles.  And, Henry Goddard was also on the West Chester Normal School (eventually named West Chester University). (President Fiorentino and the final committee report are here–a lot of work was done in this report.)

    What's wrong with eugenics, you schmuckers?

    With a name like Schmucker, it’s gotta be racist.
