b: picking a school based on a theory of justice

What: "Watching Spencer derive concrete social policies from his theory of evolution is like trying to deduce whether to send the kids to private school from a theory of justice. The sledgehammer cracks the nut, but it makes a mess." The origin of the evolution vs. creationism insanity: Herbert Spencer.
