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.

Sounds more like we want the Blacks to be permanently on the Democrat Plantation.
Next you will have English being taught as a second language to Blacks that are 7th and 8th generation Americans because they can't communicate with employers.
Any reasonable person will tell you that the most lasting first impression anyone has as to whether someone you meet is intelligent is on how well they speak. It they can be understood, put a sentence together, speak intelligently on a number of different subjects they will be judged intelligent.
If they can't speak english well enough to be understood, if they can't speak on any subject intelligently they will be judged uneducated or stupid.
If may not be fare but it is a fact of human nature.
They want Blacks to be a permanent underclass forever enslaved to the Democrats that ensure their welfare income and Medicare healthcare.
They are also ensuring that Blacks will always be part of an less privileged case.
And of course they will be fed a constant steam of resentment for being less privileged and hatred from the media.
Yo,
I wuz ax’n da same question (two symbols, you think that word is used in ebonics?).
Yes, this will really set black children up for a bright future!
I wonder,
Is there a West and East Coast, North and South jive?
When people want to be special like that and butcher a language, it only makes sense that they fragment even further in their quest for some shallow self identity.
meanwhile, back in Great Britain, Black/African folks speak perfect English, especially those raised in that country.
If they're Christian, then yes they are able to assimilate so we can consider them to be "British".
Black English is nothing more than BAD English which is all they speak anyway...Let’s just segregate again and stop the pretense and the nonsense. They don’t NEED anything from the WHITE race - they just WANT from the WHITE race...I used to feel differently but this can’t be ignored and have a peaceful outcome any longer. I changed with the times..
What happened to “Early Childhood Education?” That’s been dumped?

Let me guess: The teachers pushing this will get higher pay for “multilingual” skills.
Slave dialect.
Who do they think are more stupider? Black kids that can’t learn proper English. Or black single moms who can’t speak proper English? School teachers who can’t teach proper English?
OR.... Just keep them on the DNC plantation?
language hierarchies’.. OK, sign language and mud huts for everyone.! We sure don’t want any “Hierarchies”. :(
Riiiight! They aren’t disadvantaged enough already!

Seems like the kid would learn it at home. Why can’t Mom teach it? (She’s ‘busy’) And Dad? (Where’s he?)
LOL. They oppress themselves and wonder what the problem is. Sub 80 IQs will do that, I guess.
BTW, plenty of ghetto wanna be Whites, Asians, and Hispanics join in on the ebonics parade.
Black English would be black pages with white print on them.
I don’t know why this was not addressed sooner.
The Constitution was white paper with a little bit of black on it.
Sorry, that’s how the country was founded.
Insane.

The ink is black
The page is white
Together we learn
