[0:00]It might be interesting to judge people today by the color of their eyes. Would you like to try this? Yeah. Since I'm the teacher and I have blue eyes, I think maybe the blue eyed people should be on top the first day. I mean, the blue eyed people are the better people in this room. Oh yes, they are. Blue eyed people are smarter than brown eyed people. This is a fact.
[0:27]The brown eyed people do not get to use the drinking fountain. You'll have to use the paper cups. You brown eyed people are not to play with the blue eyed people on the playground. Well, the brown eyed people in this room today are going to wear collars so that we can tell from a distance what color your eyes are. I don't see the yard stick. It's probably over there. Hey, Miss, you better keep that on your desk because the brown eyed people get out of hand. Oh, you think if the brown eyed people get out of hand, that would be the thing to use? seemed like when we were down on the bottom, everything bad was happening to us. the way they treated you, you felt like you didn't even want to try to do anything. seemed like Mrs. Elliot was taking our best friends away from us. Russell called me names and I hit him in the gut. What did he call you? Brown eyes. They always call us that. They always call us that. They keep calling us brown eyes. I watched what had been marvelous, cooperative, wonderful, thoughtful children turn into nasty, vicious, discriminating little third graders in the space of 15 minutes. yesterday I told you that brown eyed people aren't as good as blue eyed people, that wasn't true. I lied to you yesterday. Brown eyed people may take off their collars and each of you may put your collar on a blue eyed person. You blue eyed people are not to play with the brown eyed people. Brown eyed people are better than blue eyed people. I use Orton Gillingham phonics, we use the card pack. The brown eyed children were in the low class the first day, and it took them 5.5 minutes to get through the card pack. The second day, it took them 2.5 minutes. The only thing that had changed was the fact that now they were superior people. Now you know a little bit more than you knew at the beginning of this week. Yeah, yeah. Okay, now are you back? Yeah. Does that feel better? Yes. Does the color of eyes that you have make any difference in the kind of person you are? No, Mrs. Elliot.
