Jason—this is an interesting issue. In previous iterations of this class, I included more anti-EA critiques. But, honestly, the anti-EA critiques mostly relied on moral intuitions that many students already have. So, the same points tend to come up organically in the seminar discussions, as students raise issues, objections, and criticisms.
In other words, the added value from including anti-EA critiques, above and beyond the critiques that students already think up on their own, has proven fairly limited.
Another take on this might be: very few anti-EA critiques are any more informed or sophisticated than the arguments that a typical undergrad at a state university can make for themselves.
