It wasn't!

Social Darwinism is a concept developed by Herbert Spencer and has nothing to do with the biological theory of evolution by natural selection. It is a Landmarkian concept in a fashion as groups compete with groups and acquired group superiority's are passed on. Also, the theory of evolution by natural selection is a individual selection theory, basically, and has nothing to do with group selection of this nature. Darwin was not pleased by this Spencerian corruption of his theory.

PS: I, personally, am appalled that this nonsense is still being taught in schools. Tell your teacher ( sociology, perhaps? ) to get a clue!
