You may be referring to the grade school teacher who divided her class by
virtue of eye color:  blue eyed students were said to be smarter and "better"
than brown eyed students.  A 1989 PBS television series entitled
DISCOVERING PSYCHOLOGY documented the experiment (see the
episode entitled "Constructing Reality," but also "The Power of the Situation
which includes footage from Stanley Milgrim's experiments and other ghastly
examples of the golden age of human experimentation....).   While I'm not
sure if it's still in print, the series was once available on tape

Ok, here's one that's been drving my wife & I nuts for a couple of weeks
now.
 
There was a documentary about a classroom 'experiment' (in the 60's or
early 70's I think) where one day the teacher told the students that only
those with blond hair were 'good' and all others were bad/evil/pick your
adjective.
 
Then he switched sides, saying that those with blond hair were the
evil/bad ones.
 
As I recall, it was a facinating study on how quickly friends can become
enemies, how the mob mentality can be created almost instantly, and how
prejudices are formed.
 
Now, I probably have some of the facts screwed up, but I hope that
someone out there can recall this documentary so that maybe I can find
with a copy of it.
 
Thanks-
 
Mike
