Rochester school district: Black kids are too stupid to speak English

WHAM 13: RCSD Newsletter Supports Ebonics

(Rochester, N.Y.) – It’s called Black English Vernacular – or more commonly – Ebonics.
In a newsletter to staff, Rochester City School District officials say it is OK for students and teachers to speak Ebonics in class.

The newsletter, Diversity Dialogue, suggests teachers use BEV to communicate with students. It says teachers can:

• “Switch into BEV in specific situations or informal discussion.”

• “Translate common phrases in Standard English into BEV.”

• “Read and retell stories in both BEV and Standard English.”

“We need to embrace the diversity they bring into our schools,” said the district’s Chief of Diversity and Leadership, Michele Hancock.

Hancock and Tyra Webb-Johnson, Director of Coaching and Leadership, wrote the newsletter. They are both former elementary school principals.

“We want (teachers) to have a better understanding of what BEV is so they can incorporate it into their teaching. That way, they’re not alienating the students who are speaking the vernacular and degrading them,” Webb-Johnson said.

Yeah, that’s encouraging. Two former school principals think that speaking English is “degrading.” What is “degrading” is that these fools have so little regard for the future of black children that they want to encourage the damnation of an entire race of people, a race to which they themselves belong, to permanent underclass status.

Will these kids be able to get good jobs if they speak this “different langauge,” “BEV” (which is just a euphemism for bad grammar, of course)? How can the kids learn to read or communicate in writing or succeed at university? With garbage like this, a pure prodcut of the Left, taken seriously is it any wonder that black kids still trail other in all measurable areas of achievement? Is it any wonder that inner cities are gulags of hopelessness, crime and poverty? It is obvious where the real racism resides.

    I guess “Diversity Dialogue” is code for “Baby talk.”

    Might as well only teach the Ebonics phrase for “Do you want fries with that?”

    What is funny, is the only thing they seem to WANT to teach in school now is equality, even if it’s the lowest common denominator. No need for Math, Science, or English, We’re all equilly stupid now.

    It’s closer to “I ain’t serve no fry–I beez de ho-bomb.
    Me an’ mees posse hook de bling we gets pimpin’ dees juice-bottle hos.

    we toppin’ da gansta–thumpin’ —-we sloppin’ de honky hos.

    Glib,

    You should check your sources/facts before you go spreading garbage that is simply untrue.
    Wham’s “story” that is being passed along and awallowed up whole by ignorant folks too caught
    up in hate and bigotry to actually check into the matter was taken out of context entirely.
    The RCSD is NOT promoting the teaching of Ebonics, or BEV. Yet somehow, all of the folks
    that claim intellectual superiority are failing to research the story and get the facts.
    In my book, that’s not such a smart thing to do–the whole spreading of ignorance and
    false facts bit. But, I suppose that’s what passes for being an informed, educated, and
    responsible citizen to many folks out there such as yourself. What strikes me as ironic
    is that those people who bash the public educational system, call for reform, and also
    bash our institutions of higher education are often the ones who act with the least amount
    of common sense, intellect, or ability to discern facts from absurdity. I mean, let’s
    be fair and turn the tables a little bit here: Do you claim to be moderately educated? If
    so, then who was the moron teacher/school district that taught you that it’s appropriate
    to gank fallacious stories off the Internet and spread them around to your right-wing
    buddies without ever taking the time to even THINK about checking the facts? Come on now, you can do better than that. And you could also do better than assume that the ACLU and “leftists” are somehow
    implicated in this crack-pot “story” about teaching Ebonics.

    Educate yourself, friend.

    yourself.)

    Whoa!!! Cool off sweetheart.

    Since you are so “in the know” regarding this situation, why don’t you “educate” me?

    I read the idiotic memo and listened to the two women promoting this abominable ignorance-perptuating pap. You’ve presented nothing here that shows what I’ve written to be “fallacious.”

    Where have I displayed “hate and bigotry?” I guess having faith that black children can achieve on the same level as all other children is “bigotry” in your mind. If so, I guess I’m guilty. I don’t think black kids should be imprisoned in government gulags run by intellectual midgets like the women in this story who think that speaking English is “degrading.”

    Make your case Jane.
