Not sure if you're kidding or not, but current pedagogical theory for the teaching of composition at the elementary and secondary levels teaches that enforcing Standard American English (you know, standardized rules governing grammar and spelling) perpetuates racist and sexist oppression by devaluing the narratives constructed by members of oppressed minorities.
