Black English And Equal Educational Opportunity, Michigan Law Review
Michigan Law Review
There is a danger that the King case will be misunderstood. The press has sometimes portrayed it as a vindication of the right to use black English in the classroom rather than of the educational opportunities of the children who speak it, and the King opinion itself is at times confusing.
