He shows that Eugenics theory / practice are intertwined with the educational system.

Which is tied into racism and goes back to slavery.

Certain people are poor for a reason.

i can see his line of thinking and it's worth consideration. overall, i believe any tool used to discriminate (in the purest form) also creates a dynamic of compare/contrast, pro/con, good/bad, positive/negative, etc. but now, what he said makes me think about how i've been educated through educational institutions in the past and it's connection to economic situations. i was always told by my father that debt was slavery. and, college education seems necessary. there's more i could type but that's just the base of my thoughts...
