For my senior project I recreated an experiment that was done by Dr. Clark and his wife in the 1950's. The experiment explored the psychological affects of segregation on children. Clark and his wife presented the children with dolls of opposite races (one being Caucasian, the other African-American) and asked them a series of question pertaining to the appearance of the dolls. Dr. Clark and his wife found that over 75% of these children preferred the white doll simply because she was white. This experiment was a contributing factor to the winning of the pivotal case Brown vs. Board of Education. In October of 2010 I proposed my project idea (a DVD of the interviews) to administrators and they approved and were eager to see my findings. I created permission slips that stated what types of question I would be asking, and that the interviews were going to be recorded and displayed within my school's community. Now 5 days before I am ready to present my findings the school is trying to sweep my findings under the carpet. They are not allowing me to show the video, even though I have parental consent to do so. They want me to either edit the video so viewers can't see the children's responses or not show it at all. This is not fair not only to me, but also to the people expecting to see the video. Race is an important topic and racism still has a strong presence within our society. My thesis points out that the media, parents, and teachers are a contributing factor to the way young children perceive race. The administrators have children at my school and are concerned about how they will look, not only as parents, but as educators as well. I am hoping that people will sign this petition in hopes of allowing my video, and the truth to be displayed so we can address the issue of racism, stereotypes, and censorship.
