The author proposes legal reforms, such as amending Little League charters, to ensure girls' inclusion in baseball programs.

Reinventing Eugenics: Reproductive Choice And Law Reform After World War Ii, Mary Ziegler Jan 2008

Reinventing Eugenics: Reproductive Choice And Law Reform After World War Ii, Mary Ziegler

Cardozo Journal of Equal Rights & Social Justice

The article argues that eugenic ideologies did not disappear from American law after World War II but instead evolved and were repackaged in response to shifting political and social norms. While the association with Nazi practices led to the decline of overtly coercive eugenic laws, eugenic principles persisted through new strategies, such as voluntary sterilization and population control initiatives. The article contends that the concept of reproductive choice became a key tool for redefining eugenic goals, allowing them to influence law and policy in more subtle ways.

The note critiques the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in Ledbetter v. Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., arguing that it unjustly limits the ability of employees, particularly women, to seek redress for pay discrimination under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The decision held that a claim for pay discrimination must be filed within 180 days of the initial discriminatory pay-setting decision, even if the employee did not discover the disparity until later. The note contends that this ruling ignores the reality that pay discrimination is often hidden and cumulative, making it difficult for employees to identify …

It emphasizes that these youth face unique challenges, including harassment, rejection, and discrimination, which often lead to their involvement in the juvenile justice system. The system's failure to address these issues undermines its rehabilitative goals, necessitating specialized programming and support to ensure these youth can develop into healthy, contributing adults.
