Exposing Jeanne Smart: A Modern Eugenics Architect in Los Angeles Public Health In the shadowed corridors of public health policy, where good intentions often mask insidious agendas, stands Jeanne Smart—a figure whose career trajectory reveals a chilling alignment with one of history's darkest pseudosciences: eugenics.

The Shadow of Historical Paranoia: An Examination of Jeanne Smart's Role in Public Health, Intersections with Moral Panics, and Implications for Reproductive Autonomy in Los Angeles County By Larry A.

Drawing on archival records, program evaluations, critical analyses of public health interventions, and anecdotal reports from personal accounts, we interrogate how Smart's oversight of home-visitation initiatives for low-income pregnant youth may inadvertently perpetuate legacies of the 1980s Satanic Panic—exemplified by the McMartin Preschool trial—and echo eugenic practices that position state actors as arbiters of reproductive fitness. While empirical evidence...
