Why do I suspect they are doing this because the professors can not spell or use proper grammar.
It’s almost as if they don’t want black people to be competitive in the job market.
It will be racist and cultural appropriation if wyppl speak like that.
“De-emphasize grammar?”
Wow, will they be offering a companion dictionary/translator for Ebonics now?
They were here in the 90s.
Clinton tried to get ebonics recognized as an official dialect of English that would forever hamstring a community.
8 years of daily chant songs to lord god President Obama Mmmm Mmm MMmm and the Forever First Family have brought us here. The Obamajugend are coming of age.
Admission of actual inequality is not condescending
I meant to ask if they’ll be offering a Ph.D. in Ebonics, but I thought this was the Miriam Webster thread, about the dictionary. Or maybe this relies on the dictionary.
So confused! I need my ebonics translator STAT! LOL!
I dint do nuffin...
“I find this very condescending towards blacks.”

Jeez... is it ever! It’s hard to believe that they don’t take it as a HUGE insult, but I guess they don’t.
Net result is a bunch of illiterate morons “graduating” with massive student loan debt that they will never be able to repay. IRS will have to garnish their wages at McDonalds.
Ebonic elocution takes the lead over Oxford elocution.
The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain
Becomes:
Spain rain man! Dat comes down on da pain all a da tyme!
And whats more, my post is racis’ !( sarc.)
Rutgers has sh*t the bed. Do NOT send your children there!
Ha! Back from when SNL was actually funny.
This stuff stands “racism” on its head - aren’t the true racists those who insist that black people aren’t able to learn grammar as well as white people?
Shut the place down. They have finally gone totally worthless.

So speaking the “Queen’s English” is un-American????
The leftist vision is to make it necessary for businesses to recruit from outside the country in order to find candidates who actually know how to speak English.
Following the rulebook:
“It’s a beautiful thing, the destruction of words. Of course the great wastage is in the verbs and adjectives, but there are hundreds of nouns that can be got rid of as well.” ~ Orwell, 1984
Whatupyo.
We may as well face the fact the lib arts degrees are now largely worthless.
STEM is not far behind - led by the climate change clown show.
