Go to this site & you can watch the Frontline show about an Iowa schoolteacher who, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in 1968, gave her third-grade students a first-hand experience in the meaning of discrimination. Jane Elliott divided her class into blue-eyed & brown-eyed groups and told the blue-eyed group they were better people. The next day she told them she'd lied and the brown-eyed group were better than blue-eyed group.
The last two chapters show the same lesson being taught to a group of adults. It's pretty interesting to watch.
