True story. |
About a year ago, my company sent me to (ahem) "Diversity Training", a six-hour seminar. The early part of the day was spent watching a video of the original PBS (of course) documentary of Ms. Elliott's early experiments in mind control.
Of the 30 participants in this class, I'd say 10 thought it was just "wonderful" what this woman did to very young, impressionable minds. The rest of us were outraged, including one participant (I won't say who) who compared this cretin's "experiment' to something that would put a smile on the faces of Dr. Mengele or Pavlov.
This part of our seminar was only supposed to take one hour, including "discussion" groups. Needless to say, the 2/3 of us who found it repugnant completely disrupted the tight schedule and pretty much screwed up the moderator's plan.
