Those interested in the Florida experiment to teach school children

about a 1968 experiment to teach Iowa third graders about racial prejudice,
and its aftermath.

Hello,
My children participate in the summer reading club sponsored by our
local public library. Each year there is a theme, and the children's
coordinator tries to find prizes that tie in with the theme. Last
year the theme was something like "Daring Deeds and Dragons," which
had a wizard a
I agree with Chaim. And if you don't think that simulation exercises
can be used to teach students the evils of Israelis and the travails
of their supposed Palestinian victims, well, come to my presentation
at the convention this year!
History classes should teach history, not get involved in
I second Phil Miller's opinion. To tell you the truth many among
present Jewish and Israeli heroes only incidentally were Jewish and
participated not in Jewish movements and not in Jewish causes, but
were embraced as Jewish heroes both in the USA and in Israel. I am not
going to besmirch name of an

I read the article and came away with the thought that schools all over
the US should have similar class experiments, not only to learn what

the USA. I don't kno

Not to besmirch the reputation of a man who did defy the generals of the
Junta, but Timmerman was persecuted because he was a gad-fly; his being
Jewish was incidental. Once he was released, he was welcomed to Israel
as a poster boy for Jewish suffering. But he turned on his hosts when
he championed

Hi,
We are in the process of ordering prizes for the readers in our
summer reading club. Does anyone offer prizes to your readers? If
so, what types of prizes do you offer? Are there special vendors for
