How about letting all libbies/leftists move to one state & let them secede, thereby answering everyone's wishes.

There is a place called CUBA...........

Favorite lines from Airplane!

Boss: So, tell me about your education Mr. Ebonics Student.

Ebonics Grad: i got ma edumacation r8t hur n iuno anbody dat is as smart as i be.

Boss: Hmm, I believe you'll fit right in with our molecular research team. Welcome aboard, dog.

"Ebonics is a different language, it's not slang as many believe,' Texeira said. "For many of these students Ebonics is their language, and it should be considered a foreign language. These students should be taught like other students who speak a foreign language.'

How about "liberalonics"? What you do is say the opposite of common sense. Terrorists attack the US over and over and over and over..and then say "The US is destroying us!"

love that seen ... especially when they put the subtitles on the screen.  The guy says "SH*T!" and the subtitle shows "GOLLY!".

Texeira said research has shown that students learn better when they fully comprehend the language they are being taught in.

Of course, one solution to this problem would be to make sure that every student in every American school was fluent in English. Just a suggestion.

It handicaps these kids horribly, I agree.

If someone indeed WANTED to make sure these kids were uneducated, unemployable, locked out of our society and resentful, it would be hard to come up with a better plan.

bump for later

LOL! Oh, that's good.

Your post reminded me of something. You hear a lot of talk about making English the official language of the U.S. Well, we all know that's not going to happen. But I have a question. How long do you think it's going to be before it is a requirement to speak Spanish?

I have another question. I'm in orientation today, and they said in a video on hazardous chemicals that not only should an employer have information on the chemicals we use, I have a RIGHT to the information, I HAVE to be given it. So if I HAVE to sit through an information/training session, am I exercising a right? Or am I being coerced by a communist-like entity to be indoctrinated into the government's position on hazardous materials? You be the judge. (if you would.)

Who is going to choose a doctor or an engineer that speaks in "ebonics"?

...said a local sociologist.

Correction: "...said a loca sociologist.

LOL! Oh yeah, the old lady.

Stewardess: "Sorry sir I can`t understand what you are saying"

Old lady: "Excuse me miss, but I can speak jive"

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, said a local sociologist

How about Pig Latin for the REALLY stupid?

I just LOVE The Onion and their weird sense of humor!

Good point!

Not only did you beat me to it, but I look like a "jive ass fool" now for my post.
