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.

I didnt do nuffin from 1 to 2 pm. Then recess.
Hey, they gotta do something with the time slot opened up by the cancellation in teaching cursive
In the 70’s thru early 90’s, I used to hear people saying
we should all be studying a language called Esperanto, because ‘Esperanto is the world’s most widely spoken constructed, auditory language.”
This was also the era when we were told that America had to finally learn how to use Metric measurements “Like the rest of the civilized world”.
Neither trend, Esperanto or Metric Measurements in everyday usage ever quite caught on in the States.

If a young black boy cannot dribble well when he comes out to play basketball, no one will cast his problem as an injustice. No one will worry about his single-parent home, the legacy of slavery that still touches his life, or the inherent racial bias in a game invented by a white man. His deficiency will be allowed to be what it is—poor dribbling. And he will be told to “tighten his game.” . . . [T]he standard of excellence for dribbling will be so high that many will not reach it and nothing less than virtuosity will satisfy it. When and if he meets this standard . . . he has at last earned entrée into a fraternity of nothing other than excellence. Surely he will feel proud of himself as a result.
But if this boy’s problem is reading or writing rather than basketball, white guilt will certainly prevent even a modified version of this natural human process from occurring. Career-hungry academics will appear in his little world, and they will argue that his weaknesses reflect the circuitous workings of racism. . . .
The boy will not be asked to truly work harder. Nor will he be guided in the mastery of sentence structure, parts of speech, and verb tenses. . . . And all through the torpor of a day structured to spare his feelings around reading, writing, and arithmetic, he will long to be on the other side of that window, where everything is asked of him.

They called it Ebonics last time they tried this.
He is always so on point, lol ;^)
Yes. They like that word too.
LOL!
The first person I thought of....Barbara Billingsley in the 1980 movie “Airplane.”
The fatigue is real.
Yes and in the mid 1980s the yen was a very strong currency and all of the experts, pundits, etc. said we would all be speaking Japanese by 2010.
Because Ebonics worked so well?
Other than ‘bro’, ‘on my mama’ and ‘whad did I doooooo?’, ‘I can’t breave’, what else is there?
great... another generation of afros you can’t understand over the drive thru speaker...
Isolate? As in...segregate? Such as segregation? What a wonderful idea! I say we try it. Systematically.
Then why not also teach uneducated White people vernacular as a real language? Such as “I ain’t got no,” or “I seen this.”
How about NO?!
