Question

The Angry Eye (2001) is an updated version of Jane Elliot’s classic “blue eyed/brown-eyed” exercise in discrimination. While the original exercise and film used grade school-age children, this one focuses on white American college students as they experience discriminatory treatment usually reserved for students of color. The film highlights the experiences as well as the students’ reactions and Elliot’s observations. (Please assist, thank you)

Question:

1. Jane Ellliot in the exercise points out that students of color do not “drop out” but rather are “pushed out” of educational spaces. From a sociological perspective, can you think of overt or subtle examples of how students of color are discriminated against in schools?
