A Class Divided
One day in 1968, Jane Elliott, a teacher in a small, all-white Iowa town, divided her third grade class into blue-eyed and brown-eyed groups and gave them a daring lesson in discrimination. This is the story of that lesson, its lasting impact on the children, and its enduring power thirty years later.
I had heard and read about this about a year ago. Some people think it's a great idea while others don't agree with how it's carried out. I can't say I'm all for what Jane did but it sure is interesting. If you have the time (about 30 minutes total) this is an interesting watch.

What did you think when you watched this? Had you heard of this earlier?
Enjoy your Tuesday night!
