More than 50 years after Jane Elliot created a bold classroom experiment to teach students about racism, she says there's much more work left to do. 'We are repeating the blue-eyed/brown-eyed exercise on a daily basis.'
Elliott started to see her own white privilege, even her own ignorance. At her lunch break that day in the teacher's lounge, she told her colleagues about the exercise. One teacher ended up displaying the same bigotry Elliott had spent the morning trying to fight.
The interaction only strengthened Elliott's resolve. She decided to continue the exercise with her students after lunch.
