The last straw came when she learned that there wouldn’t be an Ebonics interpreter at the Inauguration.

As Snoopy used to say,

O/T, we can thank that fiasco over Ebonics in Oakland schools for turning my sister from a die hard lib to a conservative.

She visited us in August 1996, we had just moved to North Texas. She saw the new school my kids were enrolled at, her jaw dropped at the facilities.

When she returned to Oakland, she found out that her son's classrooms did not have desks, they were issued clipboards to substitute for desks. School officials got very defensive at her pointed questions, to the point where one response was, "that school in Texas is a "white bread" school."

My sister then explained that her niece and nephew were Hispanic, and over 50 different languages were spoken in that school. She shut 'em down, but good.

She can just get Thamsanqa Jantjie to stand next to her so she can understand what is going on.
