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.

They wanted to host a “Miss Ebonics America” contest but couldn’t find a contestant to be “Miss I Da Ho”...

The Left wants to lower everyone to the baseline. The purpose of civilization is to raise people to their utmost, but tgey wabt the benefits of civilization without the price of being one’s best. God save us from such fools with faux degrees who know nothing about wisdom.
