加州一批激进左翼团体正推动各学校将黑人方言纳入该州的儿童多语言教育项目。
加州黑人幼儿教育联合组织（BlackECE）是“致力于推进黑人幼儿语言正义的合作联盟”，其成员包括加州团结组织、加州催化剂组织和早期教育前沿组织。
该联合组织的一名联合创始人曾在儿时因“说白话”被取笑，她不希望像自己儿子一样的黑人孩子因说话方式而感到“羞耻”。

该联盟官网显示：“该工作组汇集了BlackECE、加州团结组织、加州催化剂组织和早期教育前沿组织，旨在挑战有害的语言等级制度，确认黑人英语作为一种植根于黑人历史、文化和社区的合法、有规则的语言。”
BlackECE的10项政策框架还包含赔偿诉求。
BlackECE联合创始人阿什利·威廉姆斯在接受美国公共电视网（PBS）采访时谈到了该组织工作的重要性。
“我不希望我的儿子走进任何房间时，觉得自己的声音不受重视，或者自己的观点无法被倾听，仅仅因为他的说话方式与众不同，”她告诉该媒体，“但与此同时，你会感到大量羞耻和尴尬，因为在你刚刚学习语言的阶段，你就不断被纠正。”
根据ScienceDirect的定义，“黑人英语”是用来描述非裔美国人说话方式的宽泛术语。
最常见的“黑人英语”形式是非裔美国 Vernacular 英语（AAVE），其被定义为“许多非裔美国人使用的系统性方言，具有特定的语音、句法和词汇特征，包括词尾辅音群简化、用不变的‘be’表达习惯性含义以及多重否定”。

BlackECE坚称，该方言并非俚语或蹩脚英语，并在其网站上列举了一些AAVE的实际使用例子：
- “She be working”（她一直在工作）
- “They happy”（他们很开心）
- “bes’ friend”（最好的朋友）
亚利桑那州立大学幼儿语言专家西格里德·索托-博伊金在接受PBS采访时表示：“我们谈论多语言教育，但却没有将可能使用非裔美国英语的黑人儿童纳入其中。我们完全忽略了这一群体的孩子，他们的语言背景不仅可以得到保留，还可以用来助力他们自身的学习。”

加州是全美五岁以下儿童中超过一半生活在英语以外其他语言家庭的州，该州于2020年推出了“促进双语幼儿公平学习与照护”项目。
该项目“将双语能力定为州级目标，并大力提倡从幼儿阶段开始培养所有儿童的多语言能力”，其政策重点在于“反映公众舆论的重大转变，不再只关注单一英语教育，而是将双语能力视为一种资产和优势”。

BlackECE呼吁将“黑人英语”纳入该加州项目。
威廉姆斯回忆自己曾被家人取笑“说白话”，并抱怨自己的老师“坚决要求使用标准英语”，这让她感到自卑。

“这一倡议的核心，其实是肯定我们的身份、文化和人性，不必为了在某个场合被接纳而伪装成另一个自己，”她在采访中说道，“我们知道，被归类为双语学习者就能获得资源、支持和教师培训。我们想说的是，‘没错，我们也应该被纳入这一讨论范畴’。”

Leftist California group pushes to add ‘Black English’ to schools’ multilingual education program

BlackECE’s 10-point framework calls for reparations amid its push to expand multilingual program to include Black dialect
By Peter D’Abrosca Fox News
A group of radical left-wing groups in California are pushing for schools to add Black vernacular into a Golden State program that pushes multilingualism for kids.
Black Californians United for Early Care and Education (BlackECE) is a “collaborative partnership of organizations committed to advancing language justice for Black children in early childhood education.” Those groups include Californians Together, Catalyst California and Early Edge.
A co-founder of the umbrella group said she was teased a kid for “talking white” and doesn’t want Black children, like her son, to feel “shame” for the way they speak.

“The workgroup brings together BlackECE, Californians Together, Catalyst California, and Early Edge to challenge harmful language hierarchies and affirm Black English as a legitimate, rule-governed language rooted in Black history, culture, and community,” according to the coalition’s website.
BlackECE’s 10-point policy framework also includes reparations.
Ashley Williams, a co-founder of the BlackECE, spoke with PBS about the importance of the group’s work.
“I don’t want my son to walk into any room and feel like his voice is not valued or his perspective can’t be heard because he’s not saying it in one way or the other,” she told the outlet. “But with that comes a lot of shame and embarrassment because you’re being constantly corrected when you’re still in a moment when you’re just learning language.”
“Black English” is a broad term used to describe the way African Americans speak, according to ScienceDirect.
The most common defined form of “Black English” is African American Vernacular English [AAVE], characterized as a “systematic dialect spoken by many African Americans, characterized by specific phonological, syntactical, and lexical features, including word-final consonant cluster simplification, invariant ‘be’ for habitual meaning, and multiple negation.”

BlackECE insists that the dialect is not slang or broken English, and provides some real life examples of AAVE.
“She be working,” is one example listed on the website.
“They happy” and “bes’ friend” are among others.
“We talk about multilinguals, but we don’t include Black children who may be African-American English speakers,” Xigrid Soto-Boykin, an early childhood language expert at Arizona State University, told PBS. “We completely miss this subgroup of children that could also benefit from their language backgrounds to be sustained, but also to be leveraged for their own learning.”

California — a state where more than half of children under the age of five live in homes where another language besides English is spoken — implemented a program called “Promoting Equitable Early Learning and Care For Dual Language Learners” in 2020.
The program “declares biliteracy as a state goal and strongly promotes multilingual proficiency for all children, beginning in early childhood.” It focuses on policies that “reflect a dramatic shift in public sentiment away from a focus on English only and to a focus that values bilingualism as an asset and a strength.”

BlackECE says “Black English” should be added to that California program.
Williams recalled being teased for “talking white” by family members, and complained that her teachers were “adamant about proper English,” which she said made her feel insecure.

“Really at the heart of this, it’s about affirming our identity and our culture and our humanity and not having to perform as something you’re not just to be accepted in a room,” she reportedly said.
“We know that with being deemed multilingual learners, there’s resources, there’s supports, there’s teacher training. And we’re saying, ‘Yes, and we belong in that conversation too.’
