Notes -
Honestly I'm in favor of this. Ebonics has cachet as an ingroup argot that has the psychological function of separating and elevating speakers over nonspeakers. Teaching it to a bunch of white, hispanic, and asian kids will dilute its strength as a signalling mechanism and thereby render its speakers as less distinct from the mainstream.
And also we'll get a sudden upswing in nonblack kindergarteners saying the n word, which will be HILARIOUS.
