What a misuse of a well known tool designed to engage people in ideas around morality and the thoughts behind consequentialism versus deonotolgy versus virtue ethics. These topics require professional application. Clearly someone failed. Schools need to ensure control of content

So I am not sure what the point of this exercise was. It surely wasn't a lesson in tolerance, or an explanation of how people should be judged on the merit of the character and nothing else. I am sure this was done with all the best intentions, but I think that it missed.

I think the teacher had good intentions. Depends how the discussions were led afterwards. Middle school kids have a huge range of maturity levels, but it’s time for discussions to begin.

These activities are incredibly useful, but take a very long time to learn to facilitate. I’ve done a similar exercise for HS students. It takes a MINIMUM of 2 hours to run the “game”. If this kind of exercise isn’t given the proper time and reflection it can be very dangerous.

I did this in 74 for a hs sociology class. I learned a great deal about me and my friends, not all good. Thanks MrWebber

Melanin content doesn't matter! There is only one race. The HUMAN race. I have bumper stickers that say so.

This exercise was fundamentally flawed. Religion, race, ethnicity, sexual orientation - none of these things is an indicator of whether you're deserving of anything. All people, regardless of superficial traits, are equally important and worthy.

Was ‘knows how to fly a spaceship’ a choice because the rest are moot without that person.

Educators cannot embarrass students into acceptance of diversity. Kids know every single innocent-looking exercise like this is a social justice trap. That is the only lesson they learn.

What does this have to do with education ? Reading, writing and arithmetic ? Are they educating these children or raising them ? They should teach instead of prosthelytize. The categories are inherently subjective. The teachers are imposing values. Not their job or right.

In high school we did “which classmate would least likely survive a deserted island” I was picked (yay #1 for something)....I was in a body cast and a back brace at the time.

That is not appropriate to do in a school setting. Teaching the wrong things
