Charles Maurras

Charles Murray

Charles Murray is a scientist and philosopher who advocates tbe total elimination of tbe welfare state, affirmative action, and tbe Department of Education, arguing that “We tried to provide more for tbe poor and produced more poor instead. We tried to remove tbe barriers to escape from poverty and inadvertently built a trap.” Murray believes that cognitive and personality deficiencies contribute to social and economic outcomes. On tbe contrary, he’s put a lot of emphasis on tbe role of family structure as tbe culprit. Murray has a history of coming out with educational and social policies that he says will help tbe disadvantaged. He advocates to get rid of tbe welfare state and affirmative action. In education, he has a whole book about policy changes that he claims will benefit tbe disadvantaged. 

"The professional consensus is that tbe United States has experienced dysgenic pressures throughout eitber most of tbe century (tbe optimists) or all of tbe century (tbe pessimists). Women of all races and ethnic groups follow this pattern in similar fashion. There is some evidence that blacks and Latinos are experiencing even more severe dysgenic pressures than whites, which could lead to furtber divergence between whites and otber groups in future generations.” Charles Murras
