Don't worry, with our Free Trade open borders we'll import all the educated people we need or better yet, just send out all the jobs that need thinking skills.

Lets not forget, by specifying this as a seperate language and registering these black kids for English-as-a-Second Language, the schools get buckoos of extra Federal Dollars and screw the kids, they're a means to an end not the end to the means for the schools.

My mother was a school teacher. When we spoke incorrectly in front of her, she would refuse to answer until we had corrected ourselves. Or, there would be the ever popular, "Behind the preposition 'at'." response if said something like, "Where's my uniform at?" I kept what little teenage slang I knew outside of the house.
We had some workmen come in once and my mother and I were speaking to each other in their presence. The guy looked up and said, "You must be a school teacher." My mother answered in the affirmative and asked why he said that. "Because you speak so well." Too bad good English is deemed to be solely the province of teachers.

Smile. God loves you too. This I know. What I want from you is to elaborate on your statement that this nation was intended for only the demographic heirs of the Founding Fathers.
Ball's in your court.

No. My own relatives spoke Schwaebisch. I am talking about Schwiitzerdeuutch. Swiss-German, spoken in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. You are correct that there are other German dialects, within and without Germany. Irish is a dialect of English, and there are others. Including Ebonics.
My point was that in all public and literary communication, the highest form of the language should be used. Spoken, to friends, family, and coworkers, it's quite OK to use one's dialect, and is in fact charming and inclusive to its speakers. But one must trust that one's children are smart enough to learn to converse, read, and write the high form of one's mother tongue.
Little Irish and Swiss children can do it. Little American black children can do it, too. It is sad that black leaders don't feel their own children are intelligent enough to learn a language fluently.

Ebonics is black gutter slang. Period.
To: rdb3
*GASP!* He speaks. Can you believe it? I figured he'd just ignore me since I'm not from the demographics of the Founding Fathers.
The fellow also whined about minority birth rates
here. StormFront did claim to be infiltrating FR.
To: TAquinas
Smile. God loves you too.
God undoubtedly loves the StormFront types, too. That doesn't mean we are supposed to tolerate their sins against the cardinal and moral virtues.

And God loves you to, CJ.
Keeping you busy, aint I? LOL!

Ebonics!!!I can't believe San Bernardino would really do this. That is the California Public Schools Establishment.
