An apology letter intended to acknowledge Vermont s role in a program that sought to sterilize certain Vermonters deemed  degenerates is seeing the light of day in the state legislature. A joint resolution sincerely apologizing and expressing sorrow and regret to Vermonters impacted and harmed by state-sanctioned eugenics policies and practices was approved unanimously by the House of Representatives Wednesday. Before final approval and recognition, the bill must be passed by the Senate. Eugenics programs of the twentieth century sought racial purity using forced sterilization of Indigenous, mixed-race, poor and disabled people, among other policies, to achieve it. The official apology comes 90 years after Vermont approved a sterilization law which targeted people with disabilities residing in state institutions, Abenaki bands and Vermonters of mixed French-Canadian heritage, among others.
