The skinheads in the Austin area have a co-conspirator in their mission to indoctrinate the masses -- the UT administration. In February, the University played host to the much ballyhooed "Women's Legislative Days" conference, widely touted as "a conference for ALL women in the state of Texas who want to learn more about the issues of importance to women." In truth, it was little more than a front for the militant left.
There was not a shred of ideological balance indicated on the list of co-sponsors. Included were NOW, CHOICE, the Texas Abortion & Reproductive Rights Action League, the Texas AFL-CIO, Texans for Choice, the Texas Family Planning Association, and other such anti-family, racist, eugenic, and morally bankrupt coalitions with agendas to slaughter unborn women and minorities and litter the minds of impressionable young women with their racist propaganda.
Unfortunately for the UT community, the list of bigoted co-sponsors doesn't end there. What is most disturbing is that the UT School of Social Work was counted among the co-sponsors.
This isn't the first time that the School of Social Work has advocated the fascist left political agenda, which seems at least in this respect to mimic that of the Hitler regime. Last semester, the school, along with the LBJ School of Public Affairs and the UT Law Faculty, donated money and sponsored tables for a Planned Parenthood fund-raiser.
The Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) operates the nation's largest chain of abortion facilities. This racist and elitist organization was founded by eugenicist Margaret Sanger,
It is an absolute atrocity that the University of Texas at Austin would subsidize an organization created for the express purpose of eliminating peoples of color and whose founder wholeheartedly advocated eugenics theory, the underpinning of the Nazi genocide program.
who became greatly concerned about the rising number of immigrants from southern and eastern Europe (Jews and Italians) and their relatively high fertility rate.
In the April 1933 issue of the Birth Control Review, Sanger referred to Slavs, Latins, and Hebrew immigrants as "human weeds ... a deadweight of human waste" and referred to Blacks, soldiers, and Jews as a "menace to the race." Sanger eclaimed, "Eugenic sterilization is an urgent need ... We must prevent multiplication of this bad stock."
"Eugenics" is defined by Webster's New Collegiate Dictionary as "A science that deals with the improvement (as by control of human mating) of hereditary qualities of a race or breed."
In the 1921, Sanger emphasized the purpose of birth control: "To create a race of thoroughbreds." In the April, 1932 issue of the Birth Control Review, Sanger basically reiterated the same racist sentiment: "Birth control must lead ultimately to a cleaner race."

and whose founder wholeheartedly advocated eugenics theory, the underpinning of the Nazi genocide program.
"We don't want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population," explained Sanger, in a December 1939 letter she wrote to a doctor, trying to solicit his support for her blatantly bigoted agenda.
Even Marxist theorists, though so very blind in other frames of political thought, recognize the obviously racist nature of Planned Parenthood (PP). Alexander Cockburn wrote that "The not-so-concealed theme of some major figures in NARAL (National Abortion Rights Action League) and NOW (National Organization for Women) was that abortion should be legal because the most prolific breeders were welfare mothers from the dangerous classes ... the leader of NARAL in New York lobbied against the provisions to protect poor minority women from involuntary sterilization, and so did Planned Parenthood."
It is unfathomable that the UT School of Social Work (one would assume the purpose of the school is to advocate pro-family programs) would contribute any portion of their budget to advancing the anti-family agenda propagated by PP.
Margaret Sanger embraced literally any influence that could reasonably be expected to destroy family life and the relationships between spouses and parents and children. She claimed that "[Our objective is] unlimited sexual gratification without the burden of unwanted children." Her credo of women's rights was "to live ... to love ... to be lazy ... to be an unmarried mother ... to create ... to destroy."
She also claimed that"The marriage bed is the most degenerative influence in the social order," and that "The most merciful thing that a family does to one of its infant members is to kill it."
In addition, PP has been notorious for encouraging women who are carrying physically or mentally handicapped fetuses to abort. Sanger exclaimed that "the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective."
Also disturbing to note is that worldwide, PP advocates "sex-selection" as a basis for opting to abort. More female fetuses are aborted than male fetuses, and this has been advocated because of the chauvinistic notion that men are intellectually superior to women and thus can be more beneficial to society.
It is not surprising that UT, this "institute of higher learning" would form a sinister alliance with an intolerant organization that promotes an elitist attitude toward education and ultimately seeks to create classes of people based solely upon high intellectual capabilities.
Sanger proves this premise in The Pivot of Civilization: "Our failure to segregate morons who are increasing and multiplying ... demonstrates our foolhardy and extravagant sentimentalism ... Instead of decreasing and aiming to eliminate the stocks that are most detrimental to the future of the race and the world, it tends to render them to a menacing degree dominant." Sanger continues, "We are paying for, and even submitting to, the dictates of an ever-increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all."
Sanger's philosophy was entirely in line with the fact that many of her influential friends were members of the International Eugenics Society, of
Upon investigation of the University's association with Planned Parenthood, the UT administration tried to excuse itself by claiming that "discretionary funds" were used.

which she was a leading member. Alfred Ploetz, founder of the Nazi Society for Racial Hygiene was one of her closest advisors.
This University advertizes itself as being a defender of disabled rights, women's rights, and minority rights, yet it has intentionally manipulated these groups by subsidizing the most racist, chauvinistic, and elitist baby-killing conglomerate in the world.

Although the "Women's Legislative Days" conference was intended to enable women to venture into the legislative arena, evidently the coordinators wanted these women to lobby for their own evil agendas. There was a panel discussion entitled "Religious Political Extremists & Their Effect on Women's Issues," moderated by Cecile Richards, the former governor's daughter and an avid pro-death, anti-family activist. To imply that religious people are enemies of "women's issues" and "extremists" is a gross misinterpretation and a mindless assault.
Also featured were workshops entitled "Parental Rights Legislation: Deceptive and Dangerous", "A Woman's Funding Agenda: Finding Moneys to Fund Services for Women" (read: "How to Force Taxpayers to Subsidize Ethnic Baby-Killing"), "Assaults on Choice", and a forum on the importance of affirmative action , i.e., making minorities think they're too stupid to fend for themselves).
It is no wonder that efforts are being developed to have an outside audit of UT's finances. With library funding diminishing day by day, parking problems, the literally deadly inefficiency of the Student Health Center, incompetent advising, and the rapidly escalating costs of tuition and fees, surely the administration shouldn't have the luxury of funneling money to crypto-nazi organizations that jive with their threadbare Sixties ideology.
The UT chapter of the Young Conservatives of Texas hereby demands that the UT administration end its support of ethnic cleansing and reimburse students for the funds that were misused to brainwash them. Additionally, we demand that the administration issue a formal apology and a written guarantee that University funds and resources, including the University name, will never again be wasted on propagating an agenda analogous to that of the Third Reich.
