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.

The Ms. Ebonics beauty contest was cancelled. Nobody wanted to be Ms. Idaho.

[thegagline]

Since the English language was primarily created by White people, isn't black English cultural appropriation and bastardization?

[blackdog]

“Thank you for calling our company. For English, press #1. For Spanish, press #2. For Ebonics and Hood-Rat chatter, press any other number, as to not be part of the numerical, patriarchal prejudice systems.”

[stanne]

Ya. We had the Ebonics argument in 1991

It did not get received well at all

[Libloather]

Will we be able to mock this? Yo, let me know in advance, bro.

[Bigg Red]

This loon is a doctor like Jill Biden is a doctor. A worthless degree in education.

[HYPOCRACY]

There is no such thing as “black english”. There is English and there is poor english for retards. She wants to handicap black kids by teaching them remedial, retard pidgin. Mainly because that’s all she knows.

[Texas Eagle]

There is a class of colored people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs-partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.

That’s right you stupid little girl.
Teach the kids some pidgin so fifteen or twenty years down the road they can’t get a decent job because YOU screwed their minds up with gibberish and they can’t communicate.

You’re no doctor. you’re an idjit with a piece of paper in some “studies” stupidity. You serve no useful purpose here and you’re damaging the kids.

Blacks comprise about 5 percent of California’s population.

The activists really do want to be tribal.

[Made In The USA]

They have no idea how much they’re hurting themselves.

[Maine Mariner]

Is it a doctor of education?

[Bikkuri]

They need to be shipped to their "homeland" of Africa.
(Talking about "African" Americans. Blacks can stay.)

[ConservativeMind]

Is that more like Ebonics or Pidgin English!

[dfwgator]

As Chris Rock said, “[They] have got to go!”

[Sarah Barracuda]
