‘Jane Elliott Against The World’ Is A Lesson In Unlearning Prejudice / DOC NYC

The 17th edition of DOC NYC includes in its line-up an extraordinary cinematic account that defies racism. Jane Elliott Against The World, directed by Judd Ehrlich, retraces how in the morning following the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. in April 1968, Jane Elliott, then a third-grade teacher in the small town of Riceville, Iowa, devised an exercise that would change the course of her life. Facing an all-white classroom, she divided her pupils according to eye colour, treating one group as superior and the other as inferior. By creating a miniature version of a discriminatory society within the classroom, she wanted her students to experience first-hand the mechanisms and emotional consequences of racism. What began as an unconventional teaching exercise soon became one of the most influential and controversial educational experiments in modern American history, turning an unknown schoolteacher into a national figure and a lifelong activist. Nearly sixty years later, at the age of 92, Jane Elliott remains as outspoken, uncompromising and combative as ever.

Incumbent Frank Figueroa takes lead in Coachella mayor's race

Coachella Mayor Frank Figueroa has taken a narrow lead in his race to win a full term, according to the latest election results posted Wednesday afternoon, Nov. 11. Councilmember Denise Delgado, who is one of Figueroa's challengers, had been leading until the updated results released by the Riverside County Registrar of Voters. Delgado was in second place in the latest count, just 67 votes behind Figueroa. Jesus "Kino" Gonzalez was in third, 77 votes behind Delgado. The fourth candidate, Francisco Molina, was in a distant last place, more than 1,000 votes behind Gonzalez. Even if she does not win the mayor's seat, Delgado will remain on the council, where her term runs until 2028. Figueroa, however, will not because his council term ends in December 2026. The registrar said 193,500 vote-by-mail ballots and 11,000 conditional voter registration ballots remained to be counted countywide. It did not release a breakdown by city, but about 1% of the county's registered voters live in Coachella. Although he is the incumbent in the race, Figueroa has served as the city's mayor for less than seven months. The council voted to appoint him earlier this year to replace longtime mayor Steven Hernandez, who resigned in
