I don't mean to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?

Well, it's part of a bigger article with discussions of how specific classes and cases can integrate issues of race and justice. You can't just ignore race--Property, for example, starts with a case in which the Supreme Court upholds the claims of the British government, now held by the American government, to own land rather than the Native Americans who live on it, because the Native Americans were considered incapable of having the appropriate ownership relationship to the land (and had been conquered besides); a lot of people teach slavery as part of property law, since certain people, defined by race, used to be property; it doesn't make much sense to teach about mortgages and the history of housing in the US without talking about redlining, racially restrictive covenants, and other racially specific measures; and so on. Ignoring race doesn't make race disappear, it just leaves students with less information.
