California activists are calling for the state's preschools to legitimize the use of Black English in the classroom.
Supporters say teaching the dialect, also known as African American English (AAE) or African American Vernacular English (AAVE), will help 'combat harmful language hierarchies.'
The Black Californians United for Early Care & Education group is part of a movement advocating for Black English to be recognized as a legitimate, rule-based language in preschool classrooms on par with other languages.

The Black Californians United for Early Care & Education group is part of a movement advocating for Black English to be recognized as a legitimate, rule-based language in preschool classrooms on par with other languages.
The group uses resources like the Black English Knowledge Brief and webinar series, which helps educators, caregivers, and school leaders better understand Black English, its roots.
It also offers ways to create classrooms that affirm children's language and identity.
It comes after the Golden State introduced a plan in 2020 to expand early dual-language learning and support bilingual children.

This is a Babylon Bee headline. Yes?
I’ve said many times, it won’t be long and we will be grunting at each other. Humans are regressing at an alarming rate.
because the dumbing down of America is not happening fast enough
So their subculture of misogyny, drugs and violence can continue unabated. 🙄
Ebonics word of the day: “Omelette”
I oughta pop a cap in yo azz but omelette it slide.
why not justt let the mongrels snort, roar and chitter?
They don’t act human as their incarseration rates shows so let DEM orate as animals already.
It's kind of like "soul food" being identical to "the food of Fascism" when the wrong people eat it!
“For Ebonics and Hood-Rat chatter, press any other number, as to not be part of the numerical, patriarchal prejudice systems.”
Pressing a number is submitting to the prejudiced demands of the white supremacist mathematical hierarchy.
Howling at the moon is much more equitable.
Lol.
