Agree

No, kids should be raised to be racially color blind instead of being taught they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on the color of their skin

Ford was a strong advocate for equal opportunity and civil rights. He would likely agree with the sentiment that children should not be taught they are inherently racist or disadvantaged based on their skin color. However, the concept of 'color blindness' as it is understood today did not exist during his presidency, so it's hard to say how strongly he would agree with this statement.

Agree

No

Given that critical race theory did not exist during Ford's presidency and his moderate political stance, it's likely that he would not support a radical change in the curriculum. However, he did believe in equal opportunity and civil rights, so he might not be completely opposed to the idea.

Disagree

Yes, but not until they are teenagers

While Ford was a proponent of equal opportunity and civil rights, there is no evidence to suggest that he would support the teaching of critical race theory, even at a later age. This concept did not exist during his presidency and it's unlikely that he would have supported such a radical change in the curriculum.

Strongly disagree

Yes, we cannot end racism until we acknowledge that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist

Ford was a moderate Republican who believed in equal opportunity and civil rights, but there is no evidence to suggest that he would agree with the assertion that our institutions, laws, and history are inherently racist. This is a much more radical viewpoint than Ford ever expressed during his presidency.

Very strongly disagree

Yes, and also add Intersectionality and the 1619 Project to the curriculum

Given that critical race theory, Intersectionality, and the 1619 Project did not exist during Ford's presidency, and considering his moderate political stance, it's highly unlikely that he would support such radical changes to the curriculum.
