Education is key. I wish we could keep Jane forever

@NOYB Maxx you could always do the doll test instead.

[@1yabeyabe]

Her teachings live on. It is called CRT nowadays.

[@lisaj.j.2999]

Right on! This lady is a great educator ! There is no place for racism.

[@1yabeyabe]

So how did the children in her little experiment turn out?

[@richardmurphy7451]

Except if it's aimed at white people. All she does is demean, belittle, and treat white people as hateful objections.

[@jonathancineus6424]

😳 I wish this woman could live forever. We definitely need her for another 3 generations. Let’s keep sharing her teaching and her mentality long after she’s gone.

Thank you! That was so Powerful. I tell my mixed “race” children this constantly because they are bullied and when I show up at conferences or rehearsals/events at their school it’s a shock that I’m their Mother.

Martia Callahan And really NO one cares what color people are! We are all children of God...democrat ploy to get Trump gone!! Its been done for years....watch old Biden videos of him being a Senator...he called them the N word several times...school segregation started. Democrats promise them every election year....then crap on them! All Lives Matter! Trump is actually helping the black community! Schooling, college and Jobs until the Democratic Virus came out of China...yup Obama gave huge amounts of money for the Wuhan LAB!! Yup this was all planned! We are all being played by MSM to separate us! United we Stand....Divided WE Fall! Think about how we have to stay 6 feet apart...masks...no large groups together.....BUT PROTESTERS DESTROYING THE USA IS FINE...NOT TO BLAME HIGH NUMBERS ON VIRUS....ON PROTESTERS! MSM is evil and not to be believed any more. ALL CONTROLLED BY GEORGE SOROS!!!!

I took my two daughters and one of their friends to our local book store, where the owner, a Black woman, had agreed to share her experiences in segregated America as a young girl. The three girls were spellbound, listening to every word, and so terribly upset that their friend would have gone through such experiences - receiving the desks and textbooks that the white schools discarded; being waited on last in restaurants or in stores, when shopping with her white friends. That evening has lasted with all of us for decades.

Nothing has changed

Racism exists still so no surprise. Hope future doll tests do better with kids too.

[@1yabeyabe]

And now her message of hate has gone mainstream as CRT. What effect did her little "experiment" have on her students? Were they then more loving and understanding towards each other or did they learn to hate their classmates?

[@1yabeyabe]

So how did her little "experiment" turn out? Were her students more loving and understanding of other's differences or did they learn to hate their classmates? Inquiring minds want to know.

[@marciayoung1094]

I don't talk to my kids about racism, I don't mention that they have a friend of a different color or disability or gender , they are taught to love all people. If they have a problem with someone it's about the person and the attitude . Kids are blind to hate it's the adults who color their world with the hate

[@isaiahj.5304]

I will talk to my kid about racism because if I dont, they will be ignorant what happens to them and/or other people. Kids are blind to color until they experience it. In order to change the system, they must not be ignorant. Everything else you said I agree with.

[@1yabeyabe]

And Jane showed us how easy it is to teach kids (and adults) to hate each other. In school, no less.

[@helpanimals-]

Jane would absolutely hand you your ass for making an ignorant and racist comment like that. Pretending to be colourblind

[@CClearly0]

Thank you 🙏

Way to go Jane

[@straitarrow5784]

Jane should lecture in China or Saudi Arabia and preach against racism .

[@jbtpa895]

Sadly this woman could NEVER get away with this today. We and the children learned so much from this but today it would be considered a violation of rights. Kids need to have conversations and be able to ask questions about anything and everything!

[@1yabeyabe]

Oh, but her message is the CRT being taught In elementary schools nowadays. Demonstrating how easy it is to teach children to hate others based on their differences.

[@universallove280]

Schools are abuse. I can’t imagine exposing my children to that kind of idiocy

[@ania5038]

Her lessons were more necessary back then when racism was really prevalent and almost every household was actually teaching racism to the next generation. Nowadays instead of teaching the idiocy of treating someone differently based on their melanin content, kids' minds are being warped to such extreme degrees that now we can't even define what a woman is anymore. Life used to be so simple, treat everyone equally and not based on the colour of their skin but their character.

[@SNUPE_FOXX92]

Jane Elliott would be the perfect educator for critical race theory 🤔

[@pm8725]

He's an incredible speaker

[@patriciatalley1531]

Thank you for sharing a powerful statement that speaks to equal justice and a changed mind about people of different colors. We must began a new narrative about our love respect fairness kindness integrity and character.

[@1yabeyabe]

So how did the children in her little experiment turn out? No one mentions that.

[@annac.8502]

❤️😌

[@michaelhoerig5920]

This is the essence of racism. It's so simple and yet we can't seem to get people to understand.

[@janetgreen6239]

Absolutely

[@edrodrigues3333]

It’s real simple, Judge a person by the content of their character not the color of their skin, treat other people as you would want to be treated, and don’t penalize a person for some else’s mistakes. The quickest way to make someone a racist, is to illegitimately call him one.

She was the original teacher of CRT to elementary school children. All she proved was that it is very easy to teach children (and adults) to hate.

[@lwhieldon1]

I would like Jane to support ai right now

[@silkalter9880]

As a human race we are slower and Dumber and we seem to have taken that we're able to accumulate knowledge and store it as intelligence the people that do that best are the fair-skinned ones

[@Horrible_Deplorable]

If someone is racist, they were taught to be racist as a kid. People aren't inherently racist. It's taught by people who think racism is everywhere and that certain people of a certain skin color are oppressed by certain people of a certain skin color.

[@jamescoe4765]

I would tell my kids there are people who make a living promoting the idea of racism so just ignore what they say be yourself and treat others the way you would want to be treated. Jane is one of those mind control people who should just be ignored.

[@jenniferkhan3686]

I wouldn’t allow this woman anywhere near my kids….they will learn that racism is wrong from their parents!! School is meant for academics, not anything else!

[@CRUISERJ1]

Nothing wrong with the exercise in learning how not to be , and that we all should realize how we are all loved by God regardless of our outward physical appearances. But I also know when going deeper into Janes message , she has a darker side that can also come as an Angel of Light with an ulterior motive. It is right to have all children know they are all valued greatly, and that by definition racism is wrong. We are but one race and should be always taught the Golden Rule, To Love one another as our Lord so Loves us, and to also understand the meaning behind treating others as you would want to be treated in kind. If this exercise can convey this message, so be it. Beyond searching out a boogie man where he does not exist may be another subject matter, especially if the experiment tries to ensue the same racism tactics that its attempting to erase by singling out kids who happen to only be of a particular skin tone.

[@XiiXiByNikki]

How Can Anyone In Their Right Mind Derive A Dark Message From The Way Jane Elliott Has Spoken Against Racism With The Goal Of Promoting That We Are Just 1 Human Race... How In Any Way Is It Ungodly For Her To Do So?... If Her Experiments Cause White Children To Feel Exactly What People Of Color Live With In America Then She's Teaching Them From Their Own Experiences Of It Not To Become The Hateful, Ignorant, Oppressor.... There's Absolutely No Wrong In Her Message Of Anti Racism

[@CRUISERJ1]

@@XiiXiByNikki She has obviously addressed many problematic issues that are for certain injustices that are put upon all of mankind throughout the history of mankind. The only problem with her message is that it goes too far in the direction that we now see with the hot topic of Critical Race Theory. Which alleges that White bad and evil, Black good and without the ability to do any wrong. The better message is to be inclusive by addressing the behaviors of what is inherently evil and then praise what is righteous and good. Martin Luther King had a much deeper and a more sustainable Truth to the matter of racism than does Elliot. Not to say that her exercises don't help in making young kids better understand what division and separation do to the Human experience. But if that's is a goal to gain 100% equality in respect of others as in all people, then BLM misses the mark as well. It should be all lives matter greatly.

[@sylart57]

To hate someone simply because they don’t look like you, (which none of us had anything to do with. That was in God’s hands), is the lowest form of ignorance. That makes it a stupid mindset. So the only thing stupider than racism, is the person who practices it.

[@gingit81]

That would give been a lawsuit today

[@jusletursoulglobaby]

all those experiments pre...80s? advanced our understanding but yea 🤣😂🤣 that's where we got research ethics from

Nah, it's called CRT and it's being taught at a school near you.

[@Horrible_Deplorable]

Are we just talking racism against blacks and browns or are we including racism against whites into it?

[@jimmcdevitt6084]

First tell children, race baiters like Jane Elliott, are reasons for division, then tell them racism only exists when it’s forced upon those who don’t believe in racism.

I think for elementary kids the best thing to do is dont discuss racism they dont have it at this age and you dont need to start !

[@broadway06405]

kids as young as 4yo start picking up cues about racism when they see the way others act around them. it doesn't have to be an intense conversation. but you should start making them aware of how other people get treated unfairly and teaching them that it's wrong. otherwise, you're just ignoring the problem. by the time they're in elementary school, they've already started learning racism.
