Eugenics in California

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
I chose this article to evaluate because last week in class the idea of eugenics was brought up in reference to wild seed and it sparked my interest. This article was one I found during class and I realized that it was a great example of an article that requires attention.

Evaluate the article
The lead section this article over all is good but looking at all of the separate sentences it's understandable to see why there is a warning banner. The explantations are very vague and short but the citations are done well. The rest of the article maintains good citations throughout the entirety. I enjoyed the way the author separated the different concepts in California eugenic history like notable people, prison system's role in the tragedy, and even a court case. Overall the status was shaky throughout the article because of many spelling and grammar errors scattered throughout it and the underdevelopment of points could use work.
