Ah, because of the pro eugenics position in the movie? I dunno, I feel like they'd like for there to be more "past good, present degeneracy" type narratives around.

    uh? I always understood the justification of getting to Idiocracy was that only dumb people kept on having kids, the issue was not that they were genetically deficient, but that they couldn't care less about education, ethics, societal improvement, etc

    Whether it's genetic or memetic the implication is that it's what they're passing down to their kids that's the problem.
