Oh... people need to be sued of their last dime personally by parents, fired by the school district, and prosecuted for child abuse. I think that covers it.

Outrageous by powers of 10. Everyone in that school who had anything to do with that teaching session should be fired immediately.

All of the fair-skinned kids need to be pulled from that school immediately. With only 524 pupils at the school, that would massively affect their funding.
And, sadly, money is the only thing that gets these brain-dead lie-beral administrators' and teachers' attention.

Showing high school students the Spike Lee documentary would be worthwhile but elementary age children? And to stigmatize children, even for an experiment, is abusive. This should be positive messages of treating everyone with respect. BTW, my daughter worked In a school with 90% minorities. The white children were racially abused constantly. No one addresses that.

Parents need to take the school system back. Years of letting school boards lead the way have caused this.

In my northern NJ high school back in 1968, we had a guest speaker in our Civics class come in and do an exercise where she separated the kids with blue eyes and brown eyes. The blue eyed kids were told they were inferior, inherently so, and were allowed few rights. We were made to sit in the back of the class room and were cut off from any discussion and told to remain quiet. 1968, folks.

They are trying to start a race war as a vehicle to the Bolshevik uprising. When you combine sick in the head w not too bright you get the woke teachers movement.
Strategically speaking, the minute you broach the topic of violent crime you put minority communities that have a serious violent crime problem at a disadvantage. That is not too bright.
Showing children autopsy photos is sick in the head.
Welcome to the revolution.

There are hard truths in life that we all have to learn. However, teaching in this manner is age inappropriate. Children are very sensitive at that age and trying to equate skin color, hair color, eye color or any other immutable characteristic a child has to make a point in this way is cruel. History should be taught by facts not with the goal of using emotional abuse to make a point. Teachers want to present the horrors but rarely present the bravery of those people who fought hard in so many different ways to end discrimination. This is a lopsided accounting that indicates that it still exists today and it is somehow their fault. This gives kids no hope that we can ever be better which is such a horrific lie to burden children with. Think of the missed opportunities to show children that from great horror and misery good things can be realized. They never want to present the other side of the coin which would be a healing balm to show them there was good decent people working hard against this discrimination. Giving them a lopsided picture of history is a tactic of the left that guarantees hard feelings and guilt. Only a cruel sadistic mind would approve of this. Children are the future. Why send them out with racism in their hearts and minds? Why not tell them a story of redemption of how a country worked, bled and died to right this terrible wrong. Allow them to be proud of their history even if bad things happened. Show them how we overcame evil with good. Allow them to be proud of the progress they have made and encourage them to be part of it going forward. What they are doing now is just instilling hate and racism in their hearts where none exists.

The late, first Mrs. Lakerman was an elementary teacher, and used the eye color segregation effectively, with her 5th grade all white class. It showed the irrationality of racial segregation, still around in that era. The children got the message.
I'm not sure if it would have been as effective, if she had had black or brown students in her class- it would have been much more difficult to manage the exercise.

When public schools leave God out of the picture, they have to come up with all kinds of explanations. Yet, there is a simple one: the Greatest Commandment - Love God with all your heart, mind, & soul and love your neighbor as yourself. Easy to understand. . .

In junior NCO school they brought in a local businessman to talk about employee types and leadership and whatnot. Eventually his talk got more and more anti-black, how they were unreliable, lazy, combative, etc. It got to the point where the black guys were losing their military bearing. He was trying to bait the white guys into agreeing with them.
We knew better. The military doesn't have a speaker without knowing exactly what he is going to say. Turns out he was a very fair skinned black guy. Whenever the subject is race, its best not to engage. It is always a set up for whitey.

I believe that reports such as this one is why the GOP will be victorious in November. The left has lost their minds, and since Biden lies like a fool, much like the entire dem party, they have branded themselves as kooks, liars, pandering fools.

This goes back to a program by Jane Eliot called Blue Eyes Brown Eyes where children with blue eyes were told they were inferior and subjected to all kinds of indignities. I believe the idea was to show the blue eyed students that such behavior was wrong. If it had be foisted on me or my children I would have left and sued the pants off the school.
Jane Eliot is a hateful old bat.

In the age of technology and cameras everywhere, we should demand that all public school classrooms stream their lessons to auditing parents. There is virtually no reason why this could not or should not be done.

This type of exercise is entirely inappropriate for kids at this age. Leon Springs elementary is arguably the best school in the district. It has a diverse student body and is located in one of the most affluent areas of San Antonio. My two children, both blonde headed boys, attended school at LSE. Their friends came from many ethnic backgrounds. I cannot imagine this type of education being necessary, unless the school is trying to indoctrinate the kids.

These people are mentally ill.
Besides which, this, “segregation,“ exercise is not really demonstrating anything that’s actually happening now, in the real world.
If anything, especially when it comes to African-Americans, they are self-segregating. Appearances suggest a lot of African Americans don’t want to act, “white.” Angela Davis derided the, “melting pot,” of American society as, “getting melted DOWN!”
To stand apart from the social contract is a choice people make. And that choice has consequences.
Starting a riot because Micky D’s ran out of McRibs, knocking down Polar Bears, and looting a Louie Vuitton store in the name of social justice isn’t caused by all the little blonde kids huddled in one corner, and all the little dark haired kids huddled in another.
Just another educational knee jerk one size fits all “zero tolerance,” oversimplified overreaction to an enormous social problem that exercises like it make worse instead of better.
I’m just so over it. Black Lives Matter annihilated billions of dollars worth of property and killed people for almost a year and a half.
How does an exercise like this, heal the wounds that caused that?

I remember when I was in 5th grade to this day. Picture it Fayette County WVA the early 1980's a Black boy being best friends with a blonde haired green eyed White girl. The Black teacher had her favorite students and I wasn't one of them even though I was a good student and never caused any trouble. I found out later on that she was a racist who didn't like the fact that I was friends with an "evil" White person. I have no doubt that if it were today Mrs. Howard would be one of these teachers doing this in her classroom.

My granddaughter goes to a charter school. It is racially and culturally mixed. They say the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. Each month a ‘value’ is highlighted. Last month it was ‘kindness’. Find a charter school and remove your kids from the leftist cesspools of government run education.

School district should fund private school tuition for all of the kids subjected to segregation harassment.
Elementary school teachers should not be paid when not teaching reading, writing and arithmetic. There are pathetic literacy rates in Detroit and Baltimore.

Geesh! I went to Elementary school in 1946 to 1955. I was aware of Black kids and where they lived and how their ancestors were Slaves without my Teachers putting on a Play about it! I went to High School 1955 to 1959 and had several Black Girlfriends who ran in my circle, went to Slumber Parties and Birthday Parties and Pizza Parties with the rest of us and nobody thought anything of it. The PROBLEM is there are Blacks who can't LET IT GO! Everyone was taught what happened to Blacks and yes, it was horrible (we all agree), but WE didn't do it! The Blacks now want to bring it back so they can get REPERATIONS. They want money from US for something we didn't do and they don't deserve. Black History can be taught in upper classes, but they also should be highlighting those Blacks who went out and became Millionaires, who run companies they started from nothing, who are Airline Pilots and Doctors and other professions to be proud of. The Blacks who are Lazy and Stupid are the ones who keep pounding the Slavery thing. They need to get a JOB!

When I taught the third grade, I put arm bands on half the children. Those children were singled out to be last and not given the same "privileges" as the children without arm bands. It did not take long before the children with arm bands became psychologically distressed at which point I stopped the experiment and let the other half of children feel what it was like to be singled out. It was not based on anything besides who had an arm band. The class then discussed what it would have been like before civil rights movement to be singled out. To single anyone out based on a characteristics that they were born with such as pigment in skin or hair color was and is wrong and could leave lasting emotional damage.

What is their problem with white children...blonde blue/eyed children are just as valuable as any other...I suspect these out of control educators are reacting to their own self/worth...and forcing white students to accept a sick line of teaching...parents had better be on their toes...remember..."Jesus loves the little children...all the children of the world"....

Teachers are not qualified to tinker with kids’ psyches. Even those who try to justify it on this thread are wrong. It should never be done. As in NEVER. No matter how the teacher tries to format this little “lesson”, it is in the wrong place by the wrong person.

So, is this school going to talk about the self segregation happening in large parts of the minority community any time soon? Does this mean they segregated the minority kids who dye their hair in various colors like the white kids do? Problem is, this bullying of vulnerable students has been going on for decades, since the late 60's actually. I could tell you stories about the things that used to happen to one of my younger brothers when he was in grade school. I remember Mom going round and round with that school too.
What we are seeing is evil in this profession, coming out to play. And they are targeting our precious children in their evil games too. Parents of these kids need to start organizing and dealing with their school districts. Don't tell the rest of us you don't have the time. This are your KIDS we are talking about here. Surely they deserve some protection from these bullies? We got a real eyeful the past couple years thanks to the national lockdowns and online teaching. Let us not waste what those arrogant bullies handed to us.
