last week i had to attend a "diversity awareness" class at work. it was mostly common sense, but everyone had to go, so there i was.

the only really interesting thing was we saw this video. not even the whole thing, just the part that the teacher had done her first lesson on discrimination in 1968. it was very compelling. and amazing how quickly the children believed their role of superior/inferior. reminded me a bit of "Lord of the Flies" and how NOT evolved we really are.


i might have to get the video and watch it, just to see if those kids had anything to say about how it changed them in their lives as they grew up, or as adults. really really excellent lesson.
