Actually, as I see it, the whole point is to validate ebonics as a foreign language.
We have huge controversies here in AZ (and presumably CA as well)regarding the education of Spanish speaking students. The preponderance of evidence that I am aware of is that English immersion has increased test scores for those students later on. There is no effort made to have them stop communicating in Spanish at home, nor should there be.
