Document Summary
Professor hates males and gives females privileges that males don"t have. Females enjoy this and want status quo to be maintained so they don"t talk to males either and remind males of their place in society. Classroom is a model of fascist authoritarian rule complete with arbitrary prejudice against half of the students in class. Males begin to feel unworthy, decreased self esteem and self efficacy for their classwork (plummeting test scores) and they feel depressed, helpless, frustrated, anxious and angry. Prof decides he"s fed up with females and gives privileges and status to males with females being objects of discrimination, stereotypes and prejudice. Females begin to feel same way males used to feel in response to their plight. Jane elliott taught a 3rd grade class in iowa comprised almost all white children. Wanted to teach them about prejudice and what it felt like to be the target of prejudice. Students with blue eyes are better than brown eyed students.
