It is roughly noon on Thursday 10/16, almost 24 hours after the deadline and only one family has submitted their questions. I am not considering other submissions at this point, and so the other two families will not earn the 3 points for this activity and will not get a chance to make up part of the test. Below are the two questions I accepted from the RED FAMILY, so they will earn 3 points, plus a bonus point.
Red Family Midterm Questions and Answers:
1. Why does Dr. Tatum say white and black parents are reluctant to talk to their children about racism? (2pts)
ANSWER: They are afraid to create problems where perhaps none exist, and make "colorblind" children unnecessarily color conscious.
2. What analogy does Dr. Tatum use to explain the pervasiveness of prejudice in our society?
ANSWER: It's like SMOG, and insofar as we breathe the air we are also SMOG BREATHERS, even though we would not describe ourselves as smog breathers.
So, those are the two family questions you will see on the midterm next Tuesday, 10/21.
