The Constitution provides for ADMITTING states into the Union...........Does it provide for EXPELLING them also?............
Disgraceful.
Who be boo?
Just when I think I've heard it all.....
Actually, this will help legalize discrimination in the workplace.
In a professional organization, for example a computer software company, it is legal to require that employees be able to read/write/speak/understand English in order to communicate with other employees.
By defining Ebonics as a foreign language (i.e. not English), I can now refuse to hire people who speak slang in the interview.
Sorry, have to take a letter off that conjugation and give you a B. You gave the third person plural pronoun incorrectly. The correct pronoun is "Dey".
Do you think Mexico could speed up their overwhelming exodus into California? I would like to give it back to them as soon as possible..........
Egads! Ebonics and PC--both are blight on our culture.
(White) liberals are always content to salve their own guilty consciences, regardless of the consequences for those they presume to represent. As long as a social program or educational reform "feels good," it is done. Consequences are for conservatives. So you end up with this really tragic situation in California. The kids who go through this kind of system have no chance--none--at success in the real world. They are doomed to a life of poverty, dependence, and lowered expectations.
All of which suits the liberals just fine, since those are the very characteristics that lead people to vote Democrat.
As I said: sad, sad, sad.
Stupid is as stupid does.
KaliPornia again. Typical!
SANKOFAI?? Geez, they could have at least come up with a real acronym.
How about letting all libbies/leftists move to one state & let them secede, thereby answering everyone's wishes.

Oops. You're right.
You got to wonder if they will offer courses in ebonics at Cal State San Bernardino ... maybe Mary Texeira could teach that along with Sociology.
more dumbing down...
and people wonder why Blacks on the whole are not prospering as well as others while new immigrants like the Asians are passing up everyone except maybe the Jewish!

Setting aside for the moment whether or not "Ebonics" is a foreign language, or even a legitimate dialect of English, does anyone think that it contains enough vocabulary to adequately instruct someone in math, science, or the standard grammar of English?
I think not. Language has long been known to limit the educational capacity of people. It is probably the most powerful of the forces that shape a person's mental capabilities as they grow up. Primitive tribespeople, who grow up speaking a language that lacks a comprehensive number system, often cannot be taught such a number system later in life, as they simply do not have the mental tools to understand things like "zero" or any level of precision beyond "more than two". The world of Orwell's "1984" was controlled primarily through the limitations of the "NewSpeak" language, which took away from the populace the mental tools, acquired through language, to even be able to comprehend rebellion against their tyrannical government.
By incorporating "Ebonics" as the primary language of instruction, these "educators" are condemning these kids to a life in which they will lack the tools to promote themselves within the culture once they become adults.
Just another example of liberals trying to keep blacks as poor and uneducated as possible. Those who 'graduate' will be unable to function in society, and will be left to do the things that those outside of society do. Most will end up dead or in jail at a very early age, which is fine for liberals, because then they can push a guilt trip on whites and funnel more money into programs that encourage working and learning less. A good and proper education for everyone in this country benefits us all.
