Here is an article that provides background and context for Jane Elliott's "Blue Eyes/Brown Eyes" exercise with school children: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/etc/friday.html The PBS series Frontline aired the documentary about the exercise and followed up on Elliott's later work with adults. One can watch it here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/etc/view.html A transcript of the Frontline program is available here: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/divided/etc/script.html Additional materials (e.g., teacher's guide) is available on the PBS website. It should not come as surprise to anyone that there are people who strenuously objected to what Elliot did. For one example, see: http://www.toqonline.com/blog/jane-elliott/ The date for the last item is November 2009. Somethings have not changed all that much over the years. -Mike Palij New York University [email protected] . --- You are currently subscribed to tips as: [email protected].
