We're getting way off topic here, but it is worth noting that nobody 
--let me repeat that *nobody*-- has ever advocated teaching the so-called 
"Ebonics" in public schools, least of all the Oakland School Board.

This has certainly become the talk-show-one-liner urban-legend version of 
what was being proposed.  It simply has virtually nothing to do with reality.
