There would have to be some conversation around bias and whether it would be fair to have a jury with 2 white people or 2 black people, and about the fairness of having a white or black person speak for the other race. ]]> 2018-06-22 21:00:42 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_rezvi/SJM_Jury_Problem/wish/268261019 No chao_160 https://padlet.com/sara_rezvi/SJM_Jury_Problem/wish/268261023 It perpetuates an idea of race as purely binary, does not bring in a context of a jury selection in terms of representation that is fair or representative of the population. And, this task has the potential for a well-meaning teacher to use with no depth of conversation. ]]> 2018-06-22 21:00:49 UTC https://padlet.com/sara_rezvi/SJM_Jury_Problem/wish/268261023 https://padlet.com/sara_rezvi/SJM_Jury_Problem/wish/268261026 It depends on what you do with it.
