( Apparently Adolf Hitler and his eugenic...)Discourage Less Educated Women from Conceiving , Says New Zealand Academic,Health

Apparently Adolf Hitler and his eugenics are not exactly dead. An academic in New Zealand has brazenly called for measures to discourage the educated women from conceiving and encouraging the educated to give birth to more.

New research out of last year's census shows that less educated women are the powerhouse behind the country's birth rate. "They are the anchor of our fertility rate at the moment," said Statistics New Zealand principal demographer Mansoor Khawaja.

Statistics showed women without tertiary qualifications who had reached their early 40s had produced 2.57 babies each. In contrast, women with a higher education were not producing enough babies to replace them and their partners, producing just 1.85 babies each. Replacement fertility is 2.1 babies per woman.

And that has raised the hackles of academics like Otago University emeritus professor Dr Jim Flynn and a world-ranked expert on intelligence.

He has solemnly warned that unless the authorities acted in time to prevent the less desirable births, the country ran the risk of dumbing-down its future population. if it does not act to boost the birth rate of its most highly educated women, says a world-ranked expert on intelligence.

He said easier methods of contraception, or even contraception in the water supply, could be used to reduce the number of unplanned pregnancies to less educated women.

"The lower down the educational scale you go, the less people are in control of their lives, and less in control of planning for children," he said.

Flynn argues vigorously that race is not a determinant of IQ, but that class can be.

"There is no genetic difference between Maori and Pakeha in terms of genes for intelligence," he said.

Flynn, said in a socially mobile society such as New Zealand's, those who remained uneducated had poorer genetic material in terms of IQ. Over time poore
