"The Classroom Experiment – Teaching prejudice to third graders in one day" details the groundbreaking exercise by teacher Jane Elliott. On the day after Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated in 1968, she decided to show her all-white third-grade class what racism felt like. Psychologist Margaret Sterling analyzes the method: Elliott declared that blue-eyed children were superior and brown-eyed children were inferior. Within minutes, the "superior" kids became arrogant bullies, and the "inferior" kids' test scores dropped. The next day, she flipped the roles. This book explores the lasting impact on those students and the global controversy that followed. It is a powerful lesson on how easily hate can be taught and how arbitrary the rules of status really are.
