MLK, A Divided Classroom and the Philosophy to End Discrimination


Listen Later


This week's Surrounded by Idiots podcast episode is about how much kids can teach us about ending discrimination.

In the show I talk about two studies that reveal:



How the death of Martin Luther King Jr., a teacher named Jane Elliott in Iowa and a classroom full of blue and brown-eyed kids created discrimination and then destroyed it in a matter of three days.



How a bunch of British elementary school children were taught some very basic philosophy concepts that drastically improved their social skills, teamwork, resilience and the ability to empathize (tolerance).



Lastly, I talk about what we can take from these studies in order to be the change we want to see in the world and end discrimination once and for all.
