Teachers should include ‘disclaimer’ allowing Ebonics in class, language researcher says
College Fix ^ | April 6, 2017 | Staff

University of Wisconsin-Madison student Erika Gallagher thinks that helping students learn proper English is racist.

She’s drawing a national reputation for her research on “code switching,” a practice in which people who grew up using a minority vernacular like Ebonics “change their regular speech tendencies” to sound like the majority.

Public schools are where you go to have any standards, and your common sense, destroyed.

No, accepting that blacks cannot learn to speak proper English is racist.

She should try putting her whole essay into Ebonics to see if that “language” has the vocabulary to express the thoughts she’s trying to develop and present.

The primary function of Ebonics is to maintain racial division.

Well of course it’s racist,everything is these days.

Who cares anymore?

Being called a racist is as common as being called a jerk used to be.

Meaningless.

Been saying that for 10 years.

P.S. The school “system” was designed by people to control the minds of the masses and brainwash them-—(Fichte/Wundt/Pavlov). Think of the mind of Davy Crockett , Ben Franklin or Thomas Jefferson-—NEVER IN AN ARTIFICIAL GROUP (non) THINK factory or in front of screens which destroys individualism, identity and thinking for self. It embeds fear of disagreeing with the majority and embeds dependency (Children with artificially-controlled emotions FOR HOURS every day, so their minds atrophy-—are programmed only with irrational emotions. It embeds only dependency, eliminates Reason and Logic.

Unstructured time in reality (real humans/nature) is crucial to thinking for self and virtue formation, in a loving family where free association is respected along with the habituation of virtue (Truth, Christianity—a rational, just religion based on God’s Word and God’s Design (Natural Laws/science/REALITY of male/female paradigm).

The most rational, just religion (faith) in history—the ONLY one which created “Free Will” and “Individual Natural Rights form God only” is Christianity. No other worldview (ideology) is compatible with free will and indivdiualism. All others “faiths” teach tribalism, collective “worldview” which is incompatible with Natural Laws and our Constitution. Individualism is impossible with collective “faiths” like Marxism, socialism, islam, humanism, satanism, Judaism (Talmud/Kabbalah), etc.

Only Deism or Christianity works in our Rule of Law (Constitutional Republic). All other “beliefs” don’t believe in individual Natural Rights from God only and free will (freedom) which predate all governments.

In another generation the anarchists, tribalists, insuuectionists and anti-constitutionalists will be running the country.

People who write in cursive instead of txt.slang, and those who speak textbook English (white talk) instead of black ebonics
or gutter lingo will have difficulty getting accepted into college or finding a good job.

Black Power A Done Deal

Scurrilous Commentary by Fred Reed

"It is curious that blacks, the least educated thirteen percent of the population, the least productive,
most criminal, and most dependent on governmental charity, should dominate national politics."

"Yet they do."

"Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."

"Courses of instruction in the schools, academic rigor, codes of dress, rules regarding unceasing obscenity, all must be set to suit them, as must be examinations for promotion in fire departments, the military, and police forces. Blacks must be admitted to universities for which they are not remotely qualified, where departments of Black Studies must be established to please them. Corporate work forces, federal departments, and elite high-schools must be judged not on whether they perform their functions but on whether they have the right number of blacks."

"Do laws requiring identification to vote threaten to end multiple voting? The laws must go. Do blacks not like Confederate flags? Adieu, flags. Does Huckleberry Finn go down the Mississippi with the Nigger Jim, or Conrad write The Nigger of the Narcissus? These must be banned or expurgated to please blacks who haven’t read them or, usually, heard of them. Do we want to prevent people coming from regions infested with Ebola from entering the United States? We cannot. It would offend blacks."

"We must never, ever say or do anything that might upset them, as virtually everything does. It is positively astonishing. One expects the rich and smart to have disproportionate power. But America is dominated from the slums."
