I have a player in my campaign who is aiming to become a Lantern Bearer. Since my players started at first level I only skimmed (yeah, I know, my own fault) the Lantern Bearer prestige class. Now that they have gained a few levels I've looked into the prestige class as well as it's backstory and I'm confused to say the least.

PCs are required to be neutral good to become a member of the Lantern Bearer organization. The goal of the Lantern Bearer organization, as stated on PathfinderWiki.com, is to

Suppress knowledge of the existence of the Drow? Ok. How they came into existence? Savvy. And also to eradicate all the Drow? Yeah that seems compWAIT, WHAT?
I guess what I'm not understanding is how a NG character can condone finding and eradicating an entire race of people. I get (sorta) that the Drow as a race are inherently evil due to their corrupt nature but as a whole not every individual Drow is evil.
So can someone please provide me an answer as to how a NG character can participate in genocide? Or is my confusion justifiable?
