a class divided - racism + what one 3rd grade class learned

With the advent of flare-ups involving Mel Gibson and Michael Richards and even fake documentaries like "Borat", one has to come to the realization racism is alive and well.

This is documentary from Frontline, a class divided, gives startling look into how an Iowa schoolteacher who, the day after Martin Luther King Jr. was murdered in 1968, gave her third-grade students a first-hand experience in the meaning of discrimination. This is the story of what she taught the children, and the impact that lesson had on their lives.

Some people will never learn the lesson until they experience it themselves.
