EBONICS BE BACK

By Michelle Malkin • July 18, 2005 02:40 PM

Check out the latest edu-follies in San Bernardino, Calif. Apparently, ebonics has been resurrected and is now a considered a civil right:

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….

…Ratibu Jacocks, a member of the Westside Action Group, a coalition of black activists, said they are working with the district to ensure the policy is implemented appropriately.

“This isn’t a feel-good policy. This is the real thing,’ Jacocks said.

Jacocks said he didn’t believe the new policy would create animosity. He said he welcomed the idea of other ethnic groups pushing for their own programs.

“When you are doing what’s right, others will follow,’ Jacocks said. “We have led the way before the civil-rights movement opened the door for women’s rights and other movements.’

Bill Cosby is going to blow his top.

Joanne Jacobs weighs in.
