Tillman hoped the new policy would increase the number of black students going to college and participating in advanced courses.

In other news, San Bernardino is cancelling the prep football season and replacing them with Sideshows, another great Oaktown invention:

"...Most will end up dead or in jail at a very early age, which is fine for liberals..."

...But not only so they can lay a guilt trip on us. This is part of the Business Development Plan of the Statists. When the Ebonics people go into crime, the liberals get to hire more police. When they go on welfare, they get to hire more case workers. And the bonus is these people are so stupid that don't don't realize what is being done to them and they don't complain - not about that, anyway.

Many of them could not even pass tests in formal Spanish.

True, and the Basic Teacher Testing requirement has had many teachers fail year after year. Usually for inadequate English skills, but sometimes inadequate math skills as well.

Black students do not need this crap to learn and achieve. They need the same thing other students do, parents who emphasize the importance of school, administrators who will not tolerate discipline problems, and good teachers who care about the students and what they do. Don't tell me black students can't achieve just because their parents are poor either, I've seen it myself in the public school I teach in.

I looked up the definition of the word JOB on www.urbandictionary.com ... It explains why so many youngsters are not working....

job
Something that's impossible to find because everyone wants to only hire experienced people even though you can't get experience if no one will hire you, and they're too damned lazy to train you.
Finding a job is such a pain.


See its the company's fault because they are too lazy to train you.... It will only get worse if these kids learn Ebonics, then the companies will really get lazy... Who wants to pay to teach their employees how to speak English???

Beginning in the 2005-06 school year, teachers will receive training on black culture and customs... The pilot program at Rio Vista Elementary and King Middle schools focuses on second-, fourth- and seventh-grade classes.

OMG, I was a teacher at Rio Vista for 6 years!!! They think that will help the students there?! How about discipline in the schools and caring parents at home!

Leave it to some idiot Cal. State leftist morons to come up with more screwed up ideas...unbelievable!

Well, they almost did. Read it backwards:

How about this one:

responsibility
A character trait that embarrasses democrats and liberals, who use their activist judges to pass laws so minorities and bums will not be responsible for their actions.
The liberals say that society has to take responsibility for wiping the bum's nose, because he is not responsible for himself. This misses the point that he is a bum BECAUSE he refused to take responsibility.

She was living in Atlanta at the time. Couldn't understand our lack of tolerance for folks with bad grammar and indecipherable speech.

After reading your post I went and looked up "work." After this I looked up "employer."

Get this...

Employer is UNDEFINED! The word is not in urbandictionary.com!

I then looked up Entrepreneur. There is one definition. "the opposite of a contractor."

I'd love to see the explanation as to how incorporating eubonics is supposed to help black students get into and succeed in college OR the workplace. I'm sure there won't be one forthcoming.

"You've just solved your own complaint. :-)"

Its a sad truth isn't it?

I have a friend who votes Republican, but she sometimes plays devils advocate with herself (I think it's subconcious).

So last election year I put the contrast to her in a way that just hit her right between the eyes. To be fair, she's not a political junkie, so she only has a rudimentary sense of whats going on. But she has a nephew in the military, so I told her she was lucky her nephew isn't from Pennsylvania, because Rendell wasn't going to extend the date for military votes to get back from overseas and be counted, even after they were sent out late.

She took the bait and said that was wrong. I said well, you could call his office, but you can't reach him today, because he's at a Pennsylvania prison to make sure all the prisoners that haven't been convicted yet get to vote.

That day I turned a wobbly Republican into an unshakeable Republican. :)
