All Hail The King Of Ebonia

How can the people responsible for educating our next generation of Americans be so completely stupid? Check out this article from the San Bernadino Sun about the decision to start incorporating Ebonics into the curriculum. Mary Texeira, a sociology professor at Cal State San Bernardino continues to advance the idiotic notion that Ebonics is not slang, but in fact is a separate language. Forget for a moment the completely ridiculous statement and accept it as true. It's long been determined that immersion in English is more effective as a teaching tool than attempting to teach in a student's native language. Back to the point however, these are not African students uprooted and forced to learn a new language; these are Americans who have always been surrounded by English.

Teachers: TEACH! Don't make excuses, find a way to get through to these kids or let them see the consequences of their actions. By creating a crutch for them to use to get through school, the standards of everyone are lowered. It's not fair to the ones who really want to learn.
