Richard Weikart's lecture is titled "From Darwin to Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany." He is professor of modern European history at California State University, Stanislaus. He has written four books, including From Darwin to "Hitler: Evolutionary Ethics, Eugenics, and Racism in Germany" (2004) and most recently "Hitler's Ethic: The Nazi Pursuit of Evolutionary Progress." He has also published essays on the history of social Darwinism and evolutionary ethics in leading scholarly journals. Ben Stein interviewed him at Dachau and at a Nazi center for killing the disabled for his film, "Expelled: No Intelligence Allowed."

The "Institute on the Constitution (IOTC)" is an educational effort sponsored by the Law Office of Peroutka and Peroutka of Pasadena, Maryland. It is neither an instrument of, nor an advocate for, any particular political party. Rather, it advocates the restoration of our Constitutional Republic by offering classes, lectures, and products designed to re-acquaint the American people with our history, our
heritage, and our Constitution, which is the very foundation of our Republic. You will not find smoke, mirrors, or political correctness filters at our presentations -- just real American history, the way it was, the way it ought to be taught.
