no no no.. boiling water is hot.. someone would definitely sue the school district over that. instead, maybe if they can drink water through a straw? thats pretty tough right?

"This is America and we speak English here!"

You don't know how many times a day I have to stop myself from screaming that in someone's face. I should get a medal.

THe Swiss-German to which you refer is called "schwaebish" or "Schwope-Deutsche". The propper or High German to which you refer is "Hoch-Deutsche".

My grandfather (Opa) was from Northern Germany (Hannover) and my grandmother (Oma) was from souther Germany (Stuttgart). Opa mercilessly pesterd Oma about her Schwaebish constantly.

Yes. They are decidedly different.

Persist! Persist! Persist!

Above all else, persist!

Scary, but possible.

[fishbabe]

but only public schools...in ritzy private schools this crap does not exist...even for the black kids who attend these ritzy schools......

[fishbabe]

I despise the libs but they are not to blame for this mess...If black leaders condemned this crap it would vanish!!!!!!The reason it lives on is because and only because black leaders want it to...[for money,power,you name it]

"Incorporating Ebonics into a new school policy that targets black students, the lowest-achieving group in the San Bernardino City Unified School District, may provide students a more well-rounded curriculum,"

WHAT???? I do not believe this

"said a local sociologist."

Oh OK now I do believe it a sociologist (read liberal)

[rdb3]

I believe they can succeed if trained properly.

*GASP!* He speaks. Can you believe it? I figured he'd just ignore me since I'm not from the demographics of the Founding Fathers.

Being that these kids will grow up in a global world dominated by hi-tech and competing againt grads from India and China, besides other Americans, "Incorporating Ebonics into a new school policy that targets black students" is not going to help these kids. The graduates from India and China don't give a damn about Eubonics, and computer programs certainly do not use Eubonics as a programming language.

Of course, the school system and the RATs and many black "leaders" have done practically nothing to help thse kids in 40 years. But, they are good at putting shackles and chains on these kids and putting up barriers to their success. To call these poeple morons is an understatement of galactic proportions.

...wacko liberal freaks.

My theory: Today's Californian, and especially San Franciscans, are descendents of the original Spanish Conquistadors, Colonial Spanish prisoners, pirates, Miner 49'ers and every "get rich quick" schemer, prostitute, and con man that followed them. Again, in the early 20th century, every star-struck Hollywood wannabe from across the nation flocked to the southern portion of the state. Again, in the Great Depression and Dust bowl days brought the down and out from the rest of the country. The result is what we have today. A gene pool of slop and sludge of human debris........and before you get offended at my words, I was born in San Diego...............

I see where he posted his white supremacist crap (cloaked in pseudo-intellectual wording and probably copied and pasted from one of the more well-read at Stormfront, no doubt).

[Texas Songwriter]

You would think whoever would propose this idea would be sent packing. It further dooms these kids to a life of poverty, ignorance, and hopelessness.

Now wait one cotton picken minute boy, what is da problem here? You aint from around these here parts, is you? I tell you what, you don know a dang thang bout other cultures. RedNeckOnics is a seprit language an aint et bout time you all recognize et as such? Dis will free up folks from Maryland down to Floreeda, except dem Texans, they're not really of the ole South.

And what about dem New Yorkers? No one in their right mind understands a dang thang that is a common outa their mouths. Yankonics, that'll solve thangs.

On his radio show, Larry Elder has spoken about the LA Public Library. Outside the library are hispanics and black kids doing fancy maneuvering on their skateboards or just hanging out, while inside the library, at every table, is an asian child or family studying.

Awful.
