It is relevant since I see the main pushers of social engineering to be the liberals. As noted by others they have done so in the past. The seem to want to do it again. Saddly for me social engineering can be easly translated to loss of freedom of thought. The most basic right we need to protect.
One of the most basic elements of freedom is the right to choose what you think is right and what you think is wrong. When you take that away and have the government decide this for you then you are no longer a free society. Like it or not you have the right to see conservatives as bad or certain religious groups as wrong, and even to consider certain lifestlyes as wrong, and yes even to dislike a race. What you don't have the right to do is to deny them freedom to live and think what they want and prosper. Social Engineering is just wrong since no one should be trusted with the power of deciding what people should or should think (like or dislike).
That is why I oppose any such actions by the government no matter how "Right" it may feel.
