JANE ELLIOTT - The Truth about RACE & RACISM

In this episode, I have the privilege to speak with Jane Elliott (via landline), lecturer, diversity trainer, & speaker. For those not familiar with Jane Elliott’s work, she is an internationally known author of the book, A Collar in My Pocket Blue-eyed, Brown-eyed Exercise (2016) based on her work as a third-grade teacher in 1968, Riceville, Iowa, USA. 

Hear Jane Elliott talk openly and without apologies about her work on RACISM, DIVERSITY, EQUITY, WOMEN’s ISSUES, BULLYING, EDUCATION, and THE CURRENT SITUATION IN THE US. She is a truth-teller extraordinaire and exposes prejudices and bigotry for what it is, “an irrational class system based upon purely arbitrary factors. And if you think this does not apply to you. . . you are in for a rude awakening”. (https://janeelliott.com/)

Yes, she shares also her thoughts about the difference between a Teacher and an Educator, problems with today's curriculum, teaching dyslexia, and well, so much MORE.

PLEASE SHARE, DISCUSS, DEBATE, COMMENT, AND ENJOY - Take care and remember to be KIND / Liisa 

You find an untold amount of YouTube clips of Jane Elliott. She has been a guest and a speaker in all major talk shows and platforms in the US and abroad. Today, she is continuing being a sought after speaker and shares platforms with many brilliant American academics.
