Re: California School Requiring Ebonics
I'm saying, tell the kids "a lot of you speak this way, and that's fine. It's just a dialect like Australian English or Scots-English, and sounding like this doesn't make you stupid or anything else, but if you want to get a good job or get into college, Broadcast Standard is the language you're going to want to learn to speak and write."
That's it. I call it realistic relativism.
