The unintended consequences of a racism awareness exercise

Jane Elliott was a schoolteacher in rural Iowa until her experiment about race propelled her to national stardom. Stephen G. Bloom joins host Krys Boyd to discuss Elliott’s exercise of separating children by eye color to mimic racism, how that became the catalyst for today’s diversity training and why we might now question the results. Bloom’s book is called “Blue Eyes, Brown Eyes: A Cautionary Tale of Race and Brutality.”
