Let’s examine a very famous, and highly controversial experiment that elementary school teacher Jane Elliot conducted in her classroom in Iowa in 1968.
< pstyle="margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0cm;">
This was at the height of the Civil Rights struggle in this country. Martin Luther King and Robert Kennedy had been assassinated; cities had been burned and looted, reflecting mass civil unrest. President Lyndon Johnson, politically hobbled by a losing war in Vietnam (causing its own unrest at home), was still able to get through Congress massive legislation for his Great Society programs, which were designed to eliminate poverty, provide health care to the needy (Medicaid), and give early childhood education to children from impoverished homes (Head Start). Mandatory desegregation of schools was the law, after the Supreme Court’s 1954 decision in Brown vs. Board of Education, but schools in the South and Midwest (including Missouri) were fighting desegregation.

At the time Elliot conducted her experiment, the prejudice was white on black, black on white, but Elliot chose not to make skin color a factor in her study.
Rather, she chose eye color which, in today’s parlance, would be considered politically correct.
