    I’ve never heard that. I’ll be interested to read more about it if you can share the link.

    Can we just agree most college traditions are weird and kinda cult-like, with Texas A&M probably the leader in the clubhouse for nonsense?

    I found this fascinating. I didn't know anything about it, until a friend put me onto it. Teacher in small town in Iowa in 1968 did a classroom experiment that became a controversy to teach kids about prejudice and hatred. This must have been filmed later or in a subsequent year. The story below explains it all. The video itself, even if it is edited or it was staged (I don't know), is still pretty fascinating.

    Wow, it’s so insightful. I just met with an 80 yr old potential client who was African American and we talked about how no one can ever understand what it’s like to be a minority simply because of your skin color unless you are one; your spouse (who isn’t) simply doesn’t feel it as you do.

    There was a similar school experiment done the year before at a California high school to teach about the Holocaust.

    it was later made into a movie that would be frequently shown on the ABC After-School specials. It was an annual screening in my Hebrew School.

    I remember them showing "The Wave" in my public school as well. I think it was in seventh grade.
