Charles Maurras
Charles Murray is a scientist and philosopher who advocates the total elimination of the welfare state, affirmative action, and the Department of Education, arguing that “We tried to provide more for the poor and produced more poor instead. We tried to remove the barriers to escape from poverty and inadvertently built a trap.” Murray believes that cognitive and personality deficiencies contribute to social and economic outcomes. On the contrary, he’s put a lot of emphasis on the role of family structure as the culprit. Murray has a history of coming out with educational and social policies that he says will help the disadvantaged. He advocates to get rid of the welfare state and affirmative action. In education, he has a whole book about policy changes that he claims will benefit the disadvantaged.
"The professional consensus is that the United States has experienced dysgenic pressures throughout either most of the century (the optimists) or all of the century (the 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 further divergence between whites and other groups in future generations.”
