‘Black linguistic justice’: Professors demand end to standard English as the norm

[JustAGuy1]

A national professional association of writing instructors recently published a list of demands that argued the current emphasis on standard English is rooted in racism and called for a complete overhaul of how language is taught.

It was published by a subcommittee with the Conference on College Composition and Communication, part of the National Council of Teachers of English.

The statement called for an end to “White Mainstream English,” arguing such an action would “decolonize” students’ minds and the English language, as well as help students “unlearn white supremacy.”

The demands were written by five English professors and a writing scholar and the document is titled: “This Ain’t Another Statement! This is a DEMAND for Black Linguistic Justice!”

“The language of Black students has been monitored, dismissed, demonized—and taught from the positioning that using standard English and academic language means success,” the professors argued.

We definitely need to re-examine linguistics, especially as it regards what we know today about the brain and psychology. That seriously done, however, will not produce the results that professor seems to seek.

Do these people think that learning English is easier for "white" brains, and so others may not be up to it?

The energy, time and money to modify an existing, functioning language can hardly be expected to be recompensed when the 'modified' one has to be learned anyway. Language rules apply generally and affect the same parts of the brain. Not much can be hoped to be gained in changing it to Chinese, German, French or "dumbed-down-english".

That isn't a problem; young kids can learn any number of languages and when and how to use them appropriately. The human brain is "designed" for that. That means they should learn a formal native language as well as variants.

What about this guy, professors...?

 

[Eric Arthur Blair]

This demand will be as about as successful as demanding Seattle home owners give their homes to
BLM stooges.

To put it in terms "black linguistic justice" professors can appreciate You mother fuckers ain't gettin' shit!

If they can destroy the language they can destroy the ability to communicate ideas and concepts which is the goal.

Math education prof: 2+2 = 4 'trope' 'reeks of white supremacy patriarchy'

Math education prof: 2+2 = 4 'trope' 'reeks of white supremacy patriarchy'

They asserted that the statement “2 plus 2 equals 4” is rooted in Western definitions of mathematics.
