00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:36,000
çç
(male narrator)
THIS IS SAUNDRA'S
AND RAYMOND'S SCHOOL.

2
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:41,000
THIS IS SAUNDRA AT HER DESK.

3
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:44,000
THIS IS RAYMOND AT HIS DESK.

4
00:00:44,000 --> 00:00:48,000
SAUNDRA HAS BROWN EYES.

5
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:50,000
RAYMOND HAS BLUE EYES.

6
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:53,000
THIS IS WHAT THEIR TEACHER SAID:

7
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:56,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE SMARTER
THAN BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:01,000
THEY ARE CLEANER
THAN BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

9
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:05,000
THEY ARE MORE CIVILIZED
THAN BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

10
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
(male narrator)
SAUNDRA AND HER BROWN-EYED
FRIENDS DIDN'T LIKE THAT DAY.

11
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,000
BUT RAYMOND DID.

12
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:13,000
I FELT LIKE I WAS KING.

13
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:16,000
LIKE I RULED THEM--BROWN EYES.

14
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:21,000
LIKE I WAS BETTER THAN THEM.
HAPPY.

15
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:26,000
(upbeat music)

16
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:34,000

(male narrator)
"NOW" -  THE AMERICAN ADVENTURE.

17
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,000
THE PEOPLE AND EVENTS SHAPING
OUR LIVES AND OUR TIMES - NOW.

18
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,000
THIS WEEK, THE EYE OF THE STORM.

19
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,000
AN EXPERIMENT IN TEACHING
THE ANATOMY OF PREJUDICE

20
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:54,000
WITH ABC NEWS CORRESPONDENT,
BILL BEUTELL.

21
00:01:58,000 --> 00:02:03,000
RICEVILLE, IOWA,
WITH A POPULATION

22
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:05,000
OF A LITTLE LESS THAN
1000 PEOPLE,

23
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
SEES THE TURMOIL AND HEARS
THE ANGRY VOICES OF THE TIMES

24
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,000
ONLY IN TELEVISION.

25
00:02:11,000 --> 00:02:12,000
IT HAS NO GHETTO.

26
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:13,000
IT HAS NO CAMPUS.

27
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,000
NO RIOTS.

28
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
NO DEMONSTRATIONS.

29
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:17,000
NO NEGROES.

30
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
ITS PEOPLE ARE ALL WHITE
AND ALL CHRISTIAN.

31
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:23,000
IT'S A RELATIVELY POOR TOWN
SURROUNDED BY LARGE CORN FIELDS.

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
AND IT IS SO FAR REMOVED
FROM THE ANGUISH OF THE CITIES,

33
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:28,000
THAT IT WAS OFTEN HARD
FOR THE PEOPLE HERE

34
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:29,000
TO UNDERSTAND THE FORCES

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
THAT ARE DIVIDING
THE UNITED STATES TODAY.

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:34,000
UNTIL A TEACHER OF THE TOWN
SCHOOL DELIBERATELY PROVOKED

37
00:02:34,000 --> 00:02:37,000
AN INCIDENT OF DISCRIMINATION
BASED ON COLOR.

38
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:40,000
IT HAPPENED AT THE COMMUNITY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL IN RICEVILLE.

39
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:42,000
THE TOWN'S FINEST BUILDING.

40
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,000
HERE NEARLY 600 FARM CHILDREN
ARE EDUCATED BY 55 TEACHERS.

41
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,000
ONE OF THEM, MRS. JANE ELLIOT,
IS DETERMINED

42
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,000
THAT ALONG WITH READING,
WRITING, AND THE NEW MATH,

43
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:53,000
HER 3rd GRADE STUDENTS
WILL ALSO LEARN ABOUT

44
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:56,000
THE PREJUDICE AND DISCRIMINATION
THAT ARE FACTS OF LIFE

45
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,000
IN THIS COUNTRY.

(Mrs. Elliot)
ON MONDAY WE HAD BUSINESS
AS USUAL.

58
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:43,000
WE DID A REGULAR SCHOOL DAY.

59
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,000
NOW WHAT MULTIPLICATION FACTOR
DOES THAT GIVE YOU?

60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:48,000
6 X 3

61
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,000
RIGHT.

62
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
OKAY.  HOW MANY SETS?

63
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:54,000
SIX.

64
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
6 SETS OF?

65
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,000
THREE.

66
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
OKAY WHAT ARE 6 SETS OF 3?

67
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,000
COUNT 'EM AGAIN.

68
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,000
EIGHTEEN.

69
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:06,000
RIGHT, OKAY, LET'S PUT THAT
DOWN HERE.

70
00:04:06,000 --> 00:04:08,000
I'M SORRY THE REST OF YOU
HAVE TO WAIT.

71
00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:11,000
BUT WE WAIT FOR YOU,
SO YOU CAN WAIT FOR HIM.

72
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:16,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
I THINK PART OF EDUCATION IS
HAVING A CHILD LEARN SOMETHING

73
00:04:16,000 --> 00:04:20,000
ABOUT LIVING BEYOND
THE TEXTBOOK.

74
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,000
(speaking to class)
I KEEP TELLING YOU,
YOU'RE THE BEST THERE IS.

75
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
THESE ARE VERY GOOD.

76
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:31,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
THE MORNING AFTER MARTIN LUTHER
KING WAS KILLED,

77
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
A CHILD CAME INTO THE ROOM
AND SAID,

78
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,000
"THEY SHOT A KING LAST NIGHT.
WHY DID THEY SHOOT A KING?"

79
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:39,000
AND WE HAD TO DISCUSS IT.

80
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
WE DISCUSSED IT.

81
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:43,000
I THOUGHT ABOUT THIS ALL EVENING
THE NIGHT BEFORE

82
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:45,000
WATCHING THIS HORROR
ON TELEVISION.

83
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:48,000
AND AT THE TIME, WE WERE
STUDYING AN INDIAN UNIT

84
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
AND I WAS IRONING THE TEEPEE
AS I WAS LISTENING TO THIS THING

85
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:56,000
AND IT BECAME SO UTTERLY
RIDICULOUS TO ME.

86
00:04:56,000 --> 00:05:01,000
THIS WHOLE THING IS SO SENSELESS
AND BASED ON SOMETHING

87
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:07,000
SO ILLOGICAL THAT I THOUGHT THEY
HAD TO FIND OUT;

88
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
CHILDREN MUST FIND OUT.

89
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,000
ADULTS OBVIOUSLY DON'T CARE,
OR IF THEY DO,

90
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:13,000
THEY DON'T CARE ENOUGH
TO DO SOMETHING,

91
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,000
OR ARE INCAPABLE OF DOING
SOMETHING--I DON'T KNOW.

92
00:05:15,000 --> 00:05:18,000
CHILDREN HAVE TO BE TOLD
THAT THIS IS WRONG.

93
00:05:18,000 --> 00:05:20,000
TELLING THEM,
THEY CAN TURN YOU OFF.

94
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,000
I WANTED THEM TO BE INVOLVED
IN FINDING OUT WHAT HAPPENED.

95
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
I WANTED THEM TO KNOW
A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW IT FEELS

96
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
TO BE STEPPED UPON.

97
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:33,000
(class recites)
I PLEDGE ALLEGIANCE TO THE FLAG,
OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,

98

DOES ANYBODY KNOW WHAT IT IS?

111
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:23,000
(class)
NATIONAL BROTHERHOOD WEEK.

112
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,000
WHAT'S BROTHERHOOD?

113
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:26,000
BE KIND TO YOUR BROTHERS?

114
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:29,000
BE KIND TO YOUR BROTHERS.

115
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,000
(class)
TREAT EVERYONE THE WAY
YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE TREATED.

116
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:37,000
TREAT EVERYONE AS THOUGH
HE WAS YOUR...BROTHER.

117
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:39,000
IS THERE ANYONE
IN THIS UNITED STATES

118
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
THAT WE DO NOT TREAT
AS OUR BROTHERS?

119
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,000
YEAH.

120
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
(student)
BLACK PEOPLE.

121
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:46,000
WHO ELSE?

122
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:47,000
INDIANS.

123
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
ABSOLUTELY.

124
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
WHEN MANY PEOPLE
SEE A BLACK PERSON,

125
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:54,000
OR A YELLOW PERSON,
OR A RED PERSON,

126
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:55,000
WHAT DO THEY THINK?

127
00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,000
LOOK AT THAT.
DUMB PEOPLE.

128
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
LOOK AT THE DUMB PEOPLE.

129
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
WHAT ELSE DO THEY THINK
SOMETIMES?

130
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:05,000
WHAT THINGS DO THEY SAY
ABOUT BLACK PEOPLE?

131
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:08,000
OH THEY'RE NIGGERS.

132
00:07:08,000 --> 00:07:12,000
IN THE CITIES, MANY PLACES
IN THE UNITED STATES,

133
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:15,000
HOW ARE BLACK PEOPLE TREATED?
HOW ARE INDIANS TREATED?

134
00:07:15,000 --> 00:07:17,000
HOW ARE PEOPLE
WHO ARE OF A DIFFERENT COLOR

135
00:07:17,000 --> 00:07:19,000
THAN WE ARE TREATED?

136
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:23,000
(student)
THEY DON'T GET ANYTHING
IN THIS WORLD.

137
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
WHY IS THAT?

138
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:27,000
BECAUSE THEY'RE A DIFFERENT
COLOR.

139
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:29,000
DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW HOW
IT WOULD FEEL

140
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,000
TO BE JUDGED BY THE COLOR
OF YOUR SKIN?

141
00:07:31,000 --> 00:07:33,000
YEAH.

142
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:35,000
YOU WOULDN'T KNOW HOW THAT FELT

143
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,000
UNLESS YOU HAD BEEN THROUGH IT,
WOULD YOU?

144
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:38,000
NO.

145
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
IS THERE ANYTHING ABOUT
YOU PEOPLE THAT IS DIFFERENT

146
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:44,000
FROM ONE ANOTHER

147
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:48,000
THAT WE COULD USE
TO MAKE PART OF YOU?

148
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:52,000
(student)
THE EYES.
THE COLOR OF THE EYES?

149
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
OKAY.  WE CAN USE THE COLOR
OF YOUR EYES.

150
00:07:55,000 --> 00:07:59,000
HOW MANY IN HERE HAVE BLUE EYES?

151
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
OKAY.  HOW MANY IN HERE
HAVE BROWN EYES?

152
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:04,000
IT MIGHT BE INTERESTING
TO JUDGE PEOPLE TODAY

153
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
BY THE COLOR OF THEIR EYES.

154
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
WOULD YOU LIKE TO TRY THIS?

155
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:10,000
YEAH!

156
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:12,000
SOUNDS LIKE FUN DOESN'T IT?

157
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,000
SINCE I AM THE TEACHER
AND I HAVE BLUE EYES,

158
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:20,000
I THINK THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
SHOULD BE ON TOP THE FIRST DAY.

159
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:25,000
I MEAN THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE
THE BETTER PEOPLE IN THIS ROOM.

160
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:29,000
NA-UH.

161
00:08:29,000 --> 00:08:32,000
OH YES THEY ARE.

162
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,000
NA-UH.

163
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:36,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE SMARTER
THAN BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

164
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:40,000
MY DAD ISN'T STUPID.

165
00:08:40,000 --> 00:08:41,000
IS YOUR DAD BROWN-EYED?

166
00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,000
YEAH.

167
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:45,000
ONE DAY YOU CAME TO SCHOOL AND
YOU TOLD US THAT HE KICKED YOU.

168
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:47,000
HE DID.

169
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:50,000
DO YOU THINK A BLUE-EYED FATHER
WOULD KICK HIS SON?

170
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:53,000
MY DAD WOULD.

171
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:55,000
MY DAD'S BLUE-EYED;
HE NEVER KICKED ME.

172
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:58,000
GREG'S DAD IS BLUE-EYED;
HE'S NEVER KICKED HIM.

173
00:08:58,000 --> 00:09:01,000
BRIAN'S DAD IS BLUE-EYED;
HE'S NEVER KICKED HIM.

174
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:06,000
WHAT COLOR EYES
DID GEORGE WASHINGTON HAVE?

175
00:09:06,000 --> 00:09:08,000
BLUE.

176
00:09:08,000 --> 00:09:13,000
BLUE.  THIS IS A FACT.

177
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:19,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE BETTER
THAN BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

178
00:09:19,000 --> 00:09:23,000
ARE YOU BROWN-EYED OR BLUE-EYED?

179
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
BLUE.

180
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:27,000
WHY ARE YOU SHAKING YOUR HEAD?

181
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:29,000
I DON'T KNOW.

182
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
ARE YOU SURE
THAT YOU'RE RIGHT?

183
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:36,000
WHY?

184
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:39,000
WHAT MAKES YOU SO SURE
THAT YOU'RE RIGHT?

185
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:42,000
THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
GET 5 EXTRA MINUTES OF RECESS

186
00:09:42,000 --> 00:09:45,000
WHILE THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
HAVE TO STAY IN.

187
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:49,000
OOOOH.

188
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:54,000
THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE DO NOT GET
TO USE THE DRINKING FOUNTAIN.

189
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,000
YOU'LL HAVE TO USE
THE PAPER CUPS.

190
00:09:56,000 --> 00:10:01,000
YOU BROWN-EYED PEOPLE ARE NOT TO
PLAY WITH THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE

191
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,000
ON THE PLAYGROUND BECAUSE
YOU ARE NOT AS GOOD

192
00:10:04,000 --> 00:10:06,000
AS BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

193
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:10,000
THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE IN THIS
ROOM WILL WEAR COLLARS TODAY

194
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:13,000
SO WE CAN TELL FROM A DISTANCE
WHAT COLOR YOUR EYES ARE.

195
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,000
NOW THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE,

196
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:20,000
EACH OF YOU CAN PICK OUT SOMEONE
ON WHOM TO PUT A COLLAR.

197
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:21,000
I WILL.

198
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:24,000
THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE EACH
COME UP AND GET A COLLAR.

199
00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:29,000
YOU CAN CHOOSE SOMEONE
TO PUT THIS COLLAR ON.

200
00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,000
WHERE ARE THE MOST FUN SEATS
IN THE ROOM?

201
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,000
AT THE FRONT OR THE BACK?

202
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:37,000
FRONT.

203
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,000
FRONT.

204
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:40,000
WHO SHOULD SIT
IN THE FRONT THEN?

205
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:41,000
THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

206
00:10:41,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I THINK THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
SHOULD.  ABSOLUTELY.

207
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:50,000
ON PAGE 127, 127, IS EVERYONE
READY?

208
00:10:56,000 --> 00:10:58,000
EVERYONE BUT LAURIE.

209
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:00,000
READY LAURIE?

210
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:02,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
SHE'S A BROWN-EYED.

211
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,000
YOU WILL BEGIN TO NOTICE TODAY
THAT WE SPEND

212
00:11:05,000 --> 00:11:10,000
A GREAT DEAL OF TIME WAITING
FOR BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

213
00:11:10,000 --> 00:11:13,000
THE YARDSTICK'S GONE.
WELL OKAY.

214
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:15,000
I DON'T SEE ANY YARDSTICK,
DO YOU?

215
00:11:15,000 --> 00:11:17,000
(student)
IT'S OVER THERE.

216
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:20,000
MRS. ELLIOT, YOU BETTER KEEP
THAT ON YOUR DESK

217
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:24,000
IN CASE THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
GET OUT OF HAND.

218
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,000
OH, YOU THINK IF THE BROWN-EYED
PEOPLE GET OUT OF HAND,

219
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,000
THAT WOULD BE THE THING TO USE?

220
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,000
YES.
NO.

221
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:33,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
WHO GOES FIRST TO LUNCH?

222
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

223
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:38,000
NO BROWN-EYED PEOPLE GO BACK
FOR SECONDS.

224
00:11:38,000 --> 00:11:40,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE MAY GO BACK
FOR SECONDS.

225
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:42,000
BROWN-EYED PEOPLE DO NOT.

226
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:43,000
WHY NOT THE BROWN EYES?

227
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,000
DON'T YOU KNOW?

228
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:46,000
THEY ARE NOT SMART.

229
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:49,000
IS THAT THE ONLY REASON?

230
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:50,000
THEY MIGHT TAKE TOO MUCH.

231
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:55,000
(student)
AND TELL THE PERSON
TO GO BACK...

232
00:11:59,000 --> 00:12:04,000
OH, YOU THINK I SHOULD ALERT
THE LUNCHROOM HELP

233
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:07,000
TO KNOW THAT THESE PEOPLE
SHOULD BE...?

234
00:12:07,000 --> 00:12:08,000
YEAH.

235
00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:10,000
...TREATED DIFFERENTLY?

236
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,000
LIKE THE ONE WHO GOES BACK
FOR SECONDS.

237
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:13,000
TELL HER.

238
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,000
SHE'LL KNOW.

239
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:17,000
THEN PROBABLY WE SHOULD DO THAT,
SHOULDN'T WE?

240
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:22,000
OKAY.  QUIETLY.  NOT A SOUND.

241
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:28,000
(student narrator)
IT SEEMED LIKE WHEN WE WERE
DOWN ON THE BOTTOM

242
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:34,000
EVERYTHING BAD WAS HAPPENING
TO US.

243
00:12:34,000 --> 00:12:37,000
THE WAY THEY TREATED YOU
FELT LIKE

244
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:40,000
YOU DIDN'T EVEN WANT TO TRY
TO DO ANYTHING.

245
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:42,000
IT SEEMED LIKE MRS. ELLIOT
WAS TAKING

246
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:47,000
OUR BEST FRIENDS AWAY FROM US.

247
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:54,000
WHAT HAPPENED AT RECESS?

248
00:12:54,000 --> 00:12:56,000
WERE 2 OF YOU BOYS FIGHTING?

249
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,000
YES.  RUSSELL AND JOHN WERE.

250
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:00,000
WHAT HAPPENED JOHN?

251
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:04,000
RUSSELL CALLED ME NAMES
AND I HIT HIM.

252
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:06,000
HIT HIM IN THE GUT.

253
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:09,000
WHAT DID HE CALL YOU?

254
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:10,000
"BROWN-EYES."

255
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
DID HE CALL YOU BROWN EYES?

256
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:16,000
(John)
THEY ALWAYS CALL US THAT.

257
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:21,000
ALL OF THE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

258
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:26,000
"BROWN EYES,
COME HERE BROWN EYES."

259
00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:30,000
WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING CALLED
BROWN EYES?

260
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
(student)
IT MEANS THAT WE'RE STUPID
AND, MAYBE NOT THAT BUT...

261
00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:42,000
THAT'S JUST THE SAME WAY
AS OTHER PEOPLE

262
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,000
CALLING BLACK PEOPLE NIGGERS.

263
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:47,000
IS THAT THE REASON YOU HIT HIM
JOHN?

264
00:13:47,000 --> 00:13:50,000
DID IT HELP?

265
00:13:50,000 --> 00:13:55,000
DID IT STOP HIM?

266
00:13:55,000 --> 00:14:00,000
DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER
INSIDE?

267
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:06,000
DID IT MAKE YOU FEEL BETTER
TO CALL HIM BROWN EYES?

268
00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:09,000
WHY DO YOU SUPPOSE
YOU CALLED HIM BROWN EYES?

269
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
BECAUSE HE HAS BROWN EYES.

270
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,000
IS THAT THE ONLY REASON?

271
00:14:13,000 --> 00:14:15,000
HE DIDN'T CALL YOU
BROWN EYES YESTERDAY.

272
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,000
DID HE?

273
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:21,000
BECAUSE YOU PUT THOSE
BLUE THINGS ON THE NECK.

274
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:22,000
TEASE HIM.

275
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:24,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
OH IS THIS TEASING?

276
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:27,000
NO.  WELL HE DID IT.

277
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,000
WERE YOU DOING IT FOR FUN?

278
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:32,000
TO BE FUNNY, OR ARE YOU DOING IT
TO BE MEAN?

279
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:37,000
MEAN??

280
00:14:38,000 --> 00:14:40,000
I DON'T KNOW.
DON'T ASK ME.

281
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,000
DID ANYONE LAUGH AT YOU
WHEN YOU...

282
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:45,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
I WATCHED WHAT HAD BEEN
MARVELOUS, COOPERATIVE,

283
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:50,000
WONDERFUL, THOUGHTFUL CHILDREN
TURN INTO NASTY,

284
00:14:50,000 --> 00:14:55,000
VICIOUS, DISCRIMINATING
LITTLE 3rd GRADERS

285
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,000
IN A SPACE OF 15 MINUTES.

286
00:14:59,000 --> 00:15:02,000
I THINK I LEARNED MORE
FROM THE SUPERIOR CHILDREN,

287
00:15:02,000 --> 00:15:06,000
THE CHILDREN WHO WERE CONSIDERED
SUPERIOR,

288
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:09,000
THAN I DID FROM THE CHILDREN
WHO WERE CONSIDERED INFERIOR.

289
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:11,000
BECAUSE THEIR PERSONALITIES
CHANGED

290
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:13,000
EVEN MORE THAN THE OTHERS DID.

291
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:16,000
WHETHER THIS IS WHAT THEY WOULD
LIKE TO BE INSIDE,

292
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,000
BUT SOCIETY INHIBITS THEM,
I DON'T KNOW.

293
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:21,000
BUT FOR ONE DAY WE REMOVED
THEIR INHIBITIONS

294
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:24,000
AND THEY WERE GHASTLY.

295
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,000
WE DIDN'T LIKE ONE ANOTHER
VERY WELL

296
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:29,000
BY THE END OF THE DAY
THAT FIRST TIME.

297
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:32,000
YESTERDAY I TOLD YOU THAT
BROWN-EYED PEOPLE

298
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:34,000
AREN'T AS GOOD AS BLUE-EYED
PEOPLE.

299
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:35,000
THAT WASN'T TRUE.

300
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:37,000
I LIED TO YOU YESTERDAY.

301
00:15:37,000 --> 00:15:42,000
THE TRUTH IS THAT BROWN-EYED
PEOPLE ARE BETTER

302
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:46,000
THAN BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

303
00:15:46,000 --> 00:15:49,000
OH BOY!

304
00:15:49,000 --> 00:15:52,000
RUSSELL, WHERE ARE YOUR GLASSES?

305
00:15:52,000 --> 00:15:54,000
I FORGOT 'EM.

306
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:55,000
YOU FORGOT THEM.

307
00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:57,000
WHAT COLOR ARE YOUR EYES?

308
00:15:57,000 --> 00:15:58,000
BLUE.

309
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:03,000
SUSAN GINDER HAS BROWN EYES.

310
00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:06,000
SHE DIDN'T FORGET HER GLASSES.

311
00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:08,000
RUSSELL RING HAS BLUE EYES
AND WHAT ABOUT HIS GLASSES?

312
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,000
(class)
HE FORGOT THEM.

313
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:12,000
HE FORGOT THEM.

314
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,000
ALL THESE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE ARE
LISTENING TO WHAT WE'RE SAYING.

315
00:16:15,000 --> 00:16:16,000
LOOK AT BRIAN.

316
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:18,000
ARE BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
GOOD LISTENERS?

317
00:16:18,000 --> 00:16:20,000
NO.

318
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:23,000
BRIAN WILL YOU PUT THAT DOWN
PLEASE.

319
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:25,000
THANK YOU.

320
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:28,000
YESTERDAY WE WERE VISITING
AND GREG SAID,

321
00:16:28,000 --> 00:16:31,000
"BOY, I LIKE TO HIT
MY LITTLE SISTER

322
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,000
"AS HARD AS I CAN.
THAT'S FUN."

323
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:37,000
WHAT DOES THAT TELL YOU
ABOUT BLUE-EYED PEOPLE?

324
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:39,000
THEY'RE NAUGHTY.

325
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
THEY FIGHT A LOT.

326
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:45,000
THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
MAY TAKE OFF THEIR COLLARS

327
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:50,000
AND EACH OF YOU MAY PUT YOUR
COLLAR ON A BLUE-EYED PERSON.

328
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:06,000

THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
GET 5 EXTRA MINUTES OF RECESS.

329
00:17:06,000 --> 00:17:10,000
YOU BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
ARE NOT ALLOWED

330
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,000
TO BE ON THE PLAYGROUND
EQUIPMENT AT ANY TIME.

331
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:19,000
YOU BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE NOT TO
PLAY WITH THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE.

332
00:17:19,000 --> 00:17:21,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE GO TO THE BACK.

333
00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:26,000
THE BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
COME TO THE FRONT.

334
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:38,000
OKAY.  BROWN-EYED PEOPLE ARE
BETTER THAN BLUE-EYED PEOPLE.

335
00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:42,000
THEY ARE SMARTER
THAN BLUE-EYED PEOPLE

336
00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:45,000
AND IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE IT,
LOOK AT BRIAN.

337
00:17:45,000 --> 00:17:49,000
DO BLUE-EYED PEOPLE
KNOW HOW TO SIT IN A CHAIR?

338
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:52,000
VERY SAD.

339
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
VERY, VERY SAD.

340
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:00,000
WHO CAN TELL ME WHAT CONTRACTION
SHOULD BE IN THE FIRST SENTENCE.

341
00:18:00,000 --> 00:18:02,000
GO TO THE BOARD AND WRITE IT,
JOHN.

342
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:03,000
COME ON.
LOOSEN UP.

343
00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,000
HERE WE GO.

344
00:18:05,000 --> 00:18:08,000
THAT'S BETTER.
LET'S DO IT AGAIN.

345
00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:12,000
♪ OH THERE IS NOTHING
LIKE A "W." ♪

346
00:18:12,000 --> 00:18:14,000

FOR THE BLESSING. ♪

347
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,000
HERE WE GO.

348
00:18:21,000 --> 00:18:23,000
COME ON LET'S DO IT AGAIN.

349
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:26,000
LOOSEN UP. UP, UP, UP.
COME ON.

350
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:28,000

THAT'S BETTER.

351
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:30,000
NOW, DO YOU KNOW HOW
TO MAKE A "W?"

352
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:32,000
OKAY. WRITE THE CONTRACTION
FOR "WE ARE."

353
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:37,000
NOW THAT'S BEAUTIFUL WRITING.

354
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:38,000
IS THAT BETTER?

355
00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:39,000
YEAH.

356
00:18:39,000 --> 00:18:41,000
BROWN-EYED PEOPLE LEARN FAST.
DON'T THEY?

357
00:18:41,000 --> 00:18:43,000
YEAH.

358
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:48,000
BOY, DO BROWN-EYED PEOPLE
LEARN FAST.  VERY GOOD.

359
00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:57,000
GREG, WHAT DID YOU DO
WITH THAT CUP?

360
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
WILL YOU PLEASE GO AND GET
THAT CUP AND PUT YOUR NAME ON IT

361
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,000
AND KEEP IT AT YOUR DESK.

362
00:19:06,000 --> 00:19:10,000
BLUE-EYED PEOPLE ARE WASTEFUL.

363
00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:12,000
WANT TO BE TIMED THIS MORNING?

364
00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:13,000
(class)
YEAH.

365
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:16,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
I USED HORTON-GILMAN PHONICS.

366
00:19:16,000 --> 00:19:19,000
WE USE THE CARD PACK
AND THE CHILDREN--

367
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:22,000
THE BROWN-EYED CHILDREN WERE
IN THE LOW CLASS THE FIRST DAY

368
00:19:22,000 --> 00:19:23,000
AND IT TOOK THEM
5 AND A HALF MINUTES

369
00:19:23,000 --> 00:19:25,000
TO GET THROUGH THE CARD PACK.

370
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:28,000
THE SECOND DAY IT TOOK THEM
2 AND A HALF MINUTES.

371
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:31,000
THE ONLY THING THAT HAD CHANGED
WAS THE FACT

372
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,000
THAT NOW THEY WERE
SUPERIOR PEOPLE.

373
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,000
(speaking to class)
YOU WENT FASTER
THAN I'VE EVER

374
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:38,000
HAD ANYONE GO THROUGH
THE CARD PACK.

375
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,000
WHY COULDN'T YOU GET THEM
YESTERDAY?

376
00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:43,000
WE WERE BROWN-EYED.

377
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:45,000
WE HAD THE COLLARS ON.

378
00:19:45,000 --> 00:19:49,000
WE KEPT THINKING ABOUT
THE COLLARS.

379
00:19:49,000 --> 00:19:53,000
MY EYES ROLLED UP
INTO MY HEAD.

380
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:56,000
YOU COULDN'T THINK AS WELL
WITH THE COLLARS ON?

381
00:19:56,000 --> 00:20:00,000
4 MINUTES AND 18 SECONDS.

382
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:02,000
I KNOW WE WEREN'T GOING
TO MAKE IT.

383
00:20:02,000 --> 00:20:04,000
NEITHER DID I.

384
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:06,000
HOW LONG DID IT
TAKE YESTERDAY?

385
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:07,000
3 MINUTES.

386
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:09,000
3 MINUTES.

387
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:10,000
HOW LONG DID IT
TAKE YOU TODAY?

388
00:20:10,000 --> 00:20:12,000
4 MINUTES AND 18 SECONDS.

389
00:20:12,000 --> 00:20:14,000
WHAT HAPPENED?

390
00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:15,000
WE'RE DUMB.

391
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:17,000
WHY?

392
00:20:17,000 --> 00:20:22,000
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING OF?

393
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:23,000
THIS.

394
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
I HATE TODAY.

395
00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:29,000
(student)
YOU DO?
I HATE IT TOO.

396
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:33,000
BECAUSE I'M BLUE-EYED.

397
00:20:33,000 --> 00:20:35,000
I AM TOO.

398
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:37,000
IT'S NOTHING--IT'S NOT FUNNY.

399
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:38,000
IT'S NOT FUN.

400
00:20:38,000 --> 00:20:40,000
IT'S NOT PLEASANT.

401
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:44,000
THIS IS A FILTHY, NASTY WORD
CALLED DISCRIMINATION.

402
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:46,000
WE'RE TREATING PEOPLE
A CERTAIN WAY

403
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:48,000
BECAUSE THEY ARE DIFFERENT
FROM THE REST OF US.

404
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,000
IS THAT FAIR?

405
00:20:49,000 --> 00:20:51,000
NO.

406
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,000
NOTHING FAIR ABOUT IT.

407
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:54,000
WE DIDN'T SAY THIS WOULD
BE A FAIR DAY, DID WE?

408
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:55,000
NO.

409
00:20:55,000 --> 00:20:57,000
AND IT ISN'T.

410
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,000
IT'S A HORRID DAY.

411
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:02,000
OKAY.  READY.

412
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:05,000
WHAT DID YOU PEOPLE
WHO ARE WEARING BLUE COLLARS NOW

413
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:07,000
FIND OUT TODAY.

414
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:11,000
(student)
I KNOW HOW THEY FELT YESTERDAY.

415
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:13,000
I DO TOO.

416
00:21:13,000 --> 00:21:14,000
HOW DID THEY FEEL YESTERDAY?

417
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:18,000
LIKE A DOG ON A LEASH.

418
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:23,000
LIKE YOU ARE JAILING THEM UP
IN A PRISON.

419
00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,000
YOU'RE THROWING THE KEY AWAY.

420
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,000
SHOULD THE COLOR
OF SOME OTHER PERSON'S EYES

421
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:31,000
HAVE ANYTHING TO DO
WITH HOW YOU TREAT THEM?

422
00:21:31,000 --> 00:21:32,000
NO.

423
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:34,000
ALRIGHT SHOULD THE COLOR
OF THEIR SKIN?

424
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:36,000
NO.

425
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:40,000
SHOULD YOU JUDGE PEOPLE
BY THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN?

426
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
NO.  NO.

427
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:46,000
YOU ARE GOING TO SAY THAT TODAY,
AND THIS WEEK,

428
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:49,000
AND PROBABLY ALL THE TIME
YOU'RE IN THIS ROOM.

429
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:54,000
YOU WILL SAY,
"NO, MRS. ELLIOT."

430
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
(class)
NO, MRS. ELLIOT.

431
00:21:56,000 --> 00:21:59,000
EVERY TIME I ASK THAT QUESTION.

432
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:04,000
THEN WHEN YOU SEE A BLACK MAN,
OR INDIAN, OR SOMEONE

433
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:11,000
WALKING DOWN THE STREET,
ARE YOU GOING TO SAY,

434
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,000
"HA-HA LOOK AT THAT SILLY
LOOKIN' THING?"

435
00:22:13,000 --> 00:22:16,000
NO.  NO.

436
00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,000
DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
WHETHER THEIR SKIN IS BLACK,

437
00:22:19,000 --> 00:22:23,000
OR WHITE, OR YELLOW, OR RED?

438
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:24,000
NO.

439
00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:27,000
IS THAT HOW YOU DECIDE WHETHER
PEOPLE ARE GOOD OR BAD?

440
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:28,000
NO.

441
00:22:28,000 --> 00:22:30,000
IS THAT WHAT MAKES PEOPLE
GOOD OR BAD?

442
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:31,000
NO.

443
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:36,000
LET'S TAKE THESE COLLARS OFF!

444
00:22:36,000 --> 00:22:41,000
(student)
I WOULD JUST LIKE TO JERK IT OFF
IF I COULD.

445
00:22:43,000 --> 00:22:45,000
HERE, MRS. ELIOT,
YOU CAN HAVE THEM.

446
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:47,000
WHAT WOULD YOU LIKE TO DO
WITH THEM?

447
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:49,000
THROW THEM AWAY.

448
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:54,000
GO AHEAD.

449
00:22:56,000 --> 00:22:59,000
NOW YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN YOU KNEW

450
00:22:59,000 --> 00:23:01,000
AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS WEEK?

451
00:23:01,000 --> 00:23:03,000
YES.  YES.  A LOT.

452
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:05,000
DO YOU KNOW A LITTLE BIT MORE
THAN YOU WANTED TO?

453
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:08,000
YES.  YES.

454
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:09,000
THIS ISN'T AN EASY WAY
TO LEARN THIS IS IT?

455
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:12,000
NO, MRS. ELLIOT.

456
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000
(laughter)

457
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
(Mrs. Elliot)
NOW LET'S ALL SIT DOWN HERE
TOGETHER.

458
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:23,000
BLUE EYES AND BROWN EYES.

459
00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,000
DOES IT MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
WHAT COLOR YOU ARE?

460
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,000
NO

461
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:33,000
OH YOU FOUND YOUR FRIENDS, HUH?

462
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:38,000
OKAY, READY TO LISTEN UP.

463
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:42,000
NOW ARE YOU BACK?

464
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:44,000
YEAH.  YEAH.

465
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,000
DOES THAT FEEL BETTER?

466
00:23:45,000 --> 00:23:48,000
YEAH.

467
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:49,000
DOES THE COLOR OF EYES
THAT YOU HAVE

468
00:23:49,000 --> 00:23:51,000
MAKE ANY DIFFERENCE
IN THE KIND OF PERSON YOU ARE?

469
00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:55,000
NO, MRS. ELLIOT.

470
00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:57,000
DOES THAT FEEL LIKE BEING HOME
AGAIN GIRLS?

471
00:23:57,000 --> 00:24:01,000
YES, MRS. ELLIOT.

472
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:06,000
WHO KNOWS A SONG ANYBODY?

473
00:24:07,000 --> 00:24:09,000

474
00:24:09,000 --> 00:24:11,000

MISERABLE SITUATION ISN'T IT?

478
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,000

JANE ELLIOT'S 3rd GRADERS,
THEY HAVE LEARNED SOMETHING

482
00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:42,000
OF WHAT IT IS TO BE ISOLATED
AND SEPARATED FROM OTHER PEOPLE.

483
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:44,000
NOT BECAUSE OF WHAT YOU ARE.

484
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:46,000
BUT BECAUSE OF THE COLOR
OF YOUR EYES.

485
00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,000
OR THE COLOR OF A PIECE
OF CLOTH AROUND YOUR NECK.

486
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:51,000
OR THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN.

487
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,000
WE DON'T KNOW IF THESE CHILDREN
WILL REMEMBER

488
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:55,000
WHAT THEY HAVE LEARNED.

489
00:24:55,000 --> 00:24:57,000
