Frontline

Lately, I've been watching a PBS show, Frontline. They have a lot really good documentaries on current events (AIDS, meth, Iraq, etc). I just finished watching one on racism. The teacher separates the classroom according to the student's eye color (brown and blue). She treats each group differently to teach them how racism feels. Depending on how they are treated, their grades raise and fall. She then does the same to a group of adults who work in a jail. It could be interesting to incorporate this into a university class.

Very interesting, watch it.
